Ahh, Larry, I like the sound of that!
Thanks for your note. I guess when we get
up over 200K we start getting a little
nervous. I know I listen out for every
little click and pop. I guess people may
think I'm a mb hypochondriac! One old
guy who is a retired mb mechanic tells me
if I would just leave it alone it will do just fine! It does use about a quart of oil 1000 miles or so, but compression is good and it starts off quicker than a gas engine.

I am hoping to make the 500K mark and then
see how far I can go from there. Overall, I'm
very pleased with it.
