Yes, I found them on line...
http://www.mercedesengines.net/ But after reading all of your posts I think i will take the plunge and see if I can have this Benz tech do the head gasket work. I don't have $6,850.00 to just blow.. I was going to save the money and do it once I had it all saved up. But the helpful advise has made me rethink this. Once again thank you all for your help with this matter. I really don't want to give up on my Benz just yet.

hey gents, just wanted to say thanks for all the info.. The car is once again running great... the problem was correctly diagnosed by you all.. It was in the adjustment to the fuel mixture.. After I replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator the car was out of tune and was not able adjust to the new part. I also made a big mistake and when working on correcting the problem, I swapped number one spark plug wire, with two spark plug wire.... the car is better than ever.. I cant believe it. I almost sold it next to nothing. And or spent all that money on a new motor... I love this car and I am currently working to save enough money to get the oil leaks taken care of... once again you have all come through with your know how.. i am grateful to you all for your help. The cost of repairs was $50.00 and 6 new park plugs. I found a great honorable Tech that helped me do the work and correct the car.

What about the oil and water mixing? Either the oil is in the water or the water is in the oil. Neither is a good for your engine. If you are getting oil in the water, then in addition to the head gasket, you've got a huge mess in the cooling system. I've got a 94 E320 parts car with this problem, and the radiator shop has been trying to clean just the radiator, so I can use it on my cabriolet, and they are still getting oil coming out of the rad after two hot tank sessions. The oil also will cause all your hoses to eventually fail, and if it's this hard getting the radiator clean, I'd hate to think about the heater core.... If you are getting water in the oil, then all your bearing surfaces and critical lube points (think cam lobes) are not getting lubrication and are getting wiped out as you continue to drive the car... Driving with this problem will quickly ruin your car. Jim
