Thanks as always for yall's wisdom and advice. Any ideas where one can download or find to read the MB-WIS service manual that several of you have referenced. I will also try the Autozone DIY site that scott referenced as well.

I will admit that I am new to wrenching on Mercedes, and really have zero knowledge of how the come apart and go together. I did however stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so I think that may push me over the top.LOL But racing over the years has made me a damn good mechanic on a lot of different motors. We have stuck pistons and blown up motors only to tear them completely apart, and put new pistons back in, completely reassembled the entire motor, and put it back in the race cars all in a couple of hours to compete in races. I always thought driving race cars was about driving, and let me tell you it is more about being a good mechanic. So I am hopeful that I have attained the skill set to not completely screw the pooch a second time on this.

I will say this, looking at the top of the valves last night, this motor does look perty, and build like a brick sheet house for those who have never open Pandora's box up.

Please keep the wisdom coming. Thanks,
