Left side of heater core-bingo!...

Thanks for the tips.

I went out and put a 3/4" pex brass ball valve from Lowe's on the return side (right above the oil filter housing).

This stopped all flow and fixed the vents' unevenness....

Finally figured this thing out!

This car has been off the road a while with a blown head gasket. I was driving it today and took a hard and fast left turn. The starter engaged and it made a horrible sound! I knew what it was...

Victory at LAST!!!

Ok, It's running great! Here's what I've learned:

1. Don't drop the chain or move the engine when removing the head.
2. If you do, it's not the end of the world, you will just have to very...

Injection Pump is pulled- HELP!

Ok, I pulled the I.P. - I only had to remove the top line from the oil filter housing, loosen all the bolts (5 I think, including 2 that I had to use a cut down 5mm Allen wrench on). I borrowed a...

I checked the timing this morning using the "bubble method". What I found is that the timing on the IP was advanced to over 40 degrees! I loosened all the bolts and moved the pump as far as it would...

It's raining now, time to rest...

I got everything back together and cranked it up. Runs and sounds better for sure but still not quite right. I did drive it down the street and it was very weak. Still won't idle at normal speed, had...

One tooth off- you guys rock!

I went out and painted the balancer with silver paint this morning (just a light dusting). It turns out that I was looking at the wrong number! The crank is at 20 BTDC when the cam is lined up. I...

A confession...

Changed head gasket, runs rough now!

1981 300D (non-turbo). This car ran great until the head gasket went out. I let her sit a few months and just got around to slapping a new gasket in. The torque sequence for the head really makes you...

Thanks!

Wow- thatś just one reason I love these cars. Of the 40 or so cars I´ve owned, there is nothing close to the support base the W123 has. It´s like our cars have their own ¨human genome¨ project...

Howdy-I have to replace my upper control arm (1983 300DT). I'm trying to determine if I have to pull the spring or if I can just put the car up on stands with the tension off the front suspension and...

You do need glue and clips...

Howdy- I've done these on a W123. You will need 6 clips per door I believe. I used 3M weatherstrip adhesive from AutoDrone. To get the rubber around the check strap you will have to unfasten the clip...

Things to remember..

1. If you don't have them, a set of Metric line wrenches are awesome. Basically they wrap about 3/4 of the way around the flare nut fitting so that you won't round off the fastener when you try to...
