Yes - or more accurately I was going to buy a rebuilt or low mileage unit. The future Mrs. only bone to pick with how the Mercedes drives is the sloppy feeling in the middle of the steering box on both cars. Id like to know what 'new' felt like...
How long did the reseal take? I don't want a science project! I have enough of them already...

Yeah, I'll have to gauge my time for this...I wont have it totally apart like you did. Ill at least polish the valve cover but I may leave the rest. I can see this eating up a lot of time to do right.
