Since I had aquired another MBZ (85 300D), I decided to pull apart the engine on the 82 and have a look inside. Before I go any further, I want to let you know that I am an Ex-Pat who lives in Mexico and have no easy access to mercedes parts and also have more time than money. I worked as a mechanic at a SF Bay Area Mercedes dealership from 1984-1986. I love the W123s and the W126s. My brother thinks I'm nuts! He drives an 03 C230 Kompressor.

If you're nuts, send me directions on how to get there. I'll come move in next door.
I used to rent a commercial bay in a building largely made up of Romanian immigrants just starting out in the auto trade here in Canada (it was an awful dump of a place, rat central).
They used to do stuff like this all the time. I really respected that.
