Yes!

I installed a new head gasket and all was well but it still had oil mixing with the coolant but not vice versa. I removed the head and had it reworked (tested, faced, new guides, seals, anything that...

The head is off. . .

I have put the head on my work table and gotten it cleaned up. I can't see any visible cracks. In fact, the head gasket does appear to be beached anywhere. I have yet to put my straightedge on it to...

So far...

I've successfully removed the cam sprocket (I have it zip tied to the chain). The cam and the cam housing has now been removed. The rail pins have been removed (bolt and washer method). I see where...

Thanks!

I have the cams removed. From what I could find it said to slacken/remove caps 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 then remove caps 3 and 6. That's what I did and there were no ill effects. :) I am about to go out and...

You are correct Jeremy,

I've never done one of the om606 engines. I was surprised to see that the cam has to come out.

I'm down to removing the cam now. Everything is disconnected from the exterior of the head. I was...

What a MESS!

I've worked on a few Mercedes diesels over the past few years. I've seen a lot of nasty, oily, cruddy messes. I've owned 5 buses. Two MCI's and three Silver Eagles. All 5 had Detroit 6v92 Turbo...

Options:

I figured a pic of the window sticker would give all the info about options/standard equipment. Pretty basic car.

The drive home...

It was a 50 mile trip from the seller's residence back to my house. I didn't push the engine. Played it safe. I think I may have hit 60mph twice. Anyway, the car never overheated for the duration of...

trying to play it cool...

I really want the car. I'm confident that it will make a dependable ride. I'm concerned about it having been overheated. The owner told me that it did overheat. I'll get the head fixed if need be but...

Here's what I found...

I went to look at the car today. It starts up and runs well. I could tell that it's missing on a cylinder but ever so slightly. There was No smoke. . .AT ALL. There is definitely oil in the expansion...

Understood. . .

Yeah, the transmission is on borrowed time I'm sure. The car has been kept pretty well. It's definitely not a rag. The little cogs in my brain are turning on this one. Im thinking it will sell for...

I have a chance to buy a very nice '95 e300 with a head gasket/ head issue. The owner told me that the engine was diagnosed with a blown head gasket. Oil is seeping into the coolant. The car has been...
