The blown headgasket can often be the result of overheating.... If the engine blows, drop a 3.0 into it.... no problems, should just about plug and play... offer $800....
They say that the rod bending problem in the 3.5 is caused by a low cetane level in the fuel.... At least that's mercedes' official story.... Could be true, as I have been told that the 3.5l has an excellent reputation in europe....
