I've owned a 190e 2.6 since 1991 and have found this to be a reliable and smooth engine. Other than 3000 mile oil and filter changes, the only engine work I have done since aquiring the car at 95k miles is:
Replace distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs to cure a missfire. While I was in there I replaced the cam seal, and the timing cover seal to cure a minor oil leak.
One injector went bad, so I replaced them all.
Car now has over 151k miles and runs great.
