And one more thing...
What kind of person comes into a Mercedes forum and says this, "Currently overseas, so all I have at the moment is a photoshop picture of what my car will look like in the near future." SNIBBLE THAT'S WHO! LOL! All I have at the moment is a photoshop picture of what my car will look like in the near future?! LOL! What kind of lame crap is that! Just look at Snibbles PeachParts MercedesShop Photo Gallery! 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL - Snibble’s Photo Gallery - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum Well there's another screen shot for the history books! LOL! This guy Snibble is too much! My side is hurting from laughing so hard! |

"Res Ipsa Loquitor".
Thank you Cascade! I am going to use that in a pending case I am litigating! I am not even kidding! No sarcasm! THANK YOU! For a horney old codger you're not too bad. I needed this! I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be the equivalent of cutting off my power steering belts and then later finding out they ran my water pump. LOL! I find myself in much the same situation as you were while cruising the grapevine. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing but I’m in a jam and I’m going to give it my best damn shot! Even if that means looking like a complete fool! If it all goes bad, well then at least I can blame you! LOL! Last edited by SELLC; 09-22-2013 at 04:34 AM. |

There are another few episodes of Bottom Gear in this posting alone! "The Case of the Cross Threaded Spark Plug Hole." and "The Dentist Parting Out a Mercedes in Mom's Driveway." I must say that it's not difficult to cross thread a spark plug hole, it's damn near impossible, unless one uses something like a 1/2 inch impact wrench. I mean doesn't one feel that it's not going in properly ???!!! Unless Mercedes have gone to interference fit spark plugs that is... And the Dentist selling worn out parts has endless possibilities, perhaps recycling used extractions, or maybe saving them up for a set au natural dentures to replace the Star hood ornament? "Get your power steering pump AND your lowers rebuilt for one low price." "Missing teeth or parts, we can help!" "We extract ANYTHING but spark plugs." "Forget Loctite, we use Polydent, grips even in the wet." Instead of the old saying "Pedal to the Metal", it could be "Teeth to the Wheel." The list is endless. I was planning on driving the 356 today (it's international "Drive Your 356 Day") in honor of Dr. Porsche Birthday but this has me sidetracked. I don't even want to touch on the Polish angle.... but I will.... SELLEC, I owe you. Thanks and Kind Regards, Ron 036 092 and a bunch of others but not a Zonda or Huayra. Yet. Keep those stories coming and I will... |

Regarding the links, I found the thread he's referring to from 7 years back: Damn spark plugs - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum As to how that ended, luckily it wasn't cross threaded as I initially thought and got the plug seated. Why update to have one less thing for Rex to talk about for years? |

Hey Snibble! You are supposed to be using the Nitrous in your car! Not sitting in your dentist chair with the regulator turned up to max whilst reading the peachparts.com web forum! LOL! |

Glow plugs are also a common cross thread.

Snibble, may I suggest that you forget the Meth angle and concentrate on the "Dentist Parting Out Stuff" way, it's funnier? Not as funny as cascade's or mcclare's "Runaway Tire and the Pregnant Lady" stuff, but funny none the less. And that's even before we tweak it.... Of course there's the "Stunaad - Confusion" angle where the dentist, high on Nitrous, confuses a M117 with his patient and start's grinding away, but instead of a cavity, he makes an unsuccessful porting job. I could incorporate this into the "How I Spent $55,000 Rebuilding an Engine that Mercedes Would Have Done For $17,000" episodes I bet. Or maybe our dentist wants to put Nitrous in his car but accidently mixes it with Desoxyn (pharmaceutical methamphetamine) and gives it to his patient who proceeds to run, on foot, the 1/4 mile faster than a $55,000 full cascade modified 560 SEC. I could make this into a 2-3 part cliffhanger series with some minor work. This stuff writes itself. Thanks, and keep 'em coming. Kind Regards, Ron Last edited by Ron500E; 09-22-2013 at 01:18 PM. |

Hmmm, interesting. I think part of the problem occurs when one uses a 1/2 drive socket when a 1/4 is called for. I guess once the cross threading begins the ONLY way to stop it is to pull the head and put an insert into the plug holes. About 10 times the time and money but it's done right. I have no doubt that a lot of novices do cross thread, and I can understand it, somewhat, in an 18 year old. But from someone who professes to be a "mechanic"...??? I have an old HRG alloy head on my MGA and one of the things I did when rebuilding it was to machine out the spark plug holes and put in Heli-Coils (they weren't actual Heli-Coils but you get the idea). Perhaps the cross threading comes from not using anti-seize on the threads? Believe it or not, there ARE people, car people, who put steel threaded spark plugs into alloy heads without some sort of lube !!!! As for glow plug... that's GSXR's domain, he's a hipster diesel guy so he would know.... Kind Regards, Ron |
