Ferdman!

Good to hear from you.

About two years ago I changed the plugs and wires on this 190e. I did not know then that wires with plastic ends was the WRONG way to go. Seems that when an engine overheats (and by the way, it was due to a thermostat failure) the plastic ends will melt (self destruct) inside the spark plug holes...I did not know that would happen , now I have to break the darn things and hope to be able to get to the plug ends.

O.K. I will forget about the head gasket replacement, I did get from Peachparts new oil seals. It has been burning quite a lot of oil (about a quart every 300 miles) and everything I've read points to worn out seals. If you have any words of wisdom???

Wish me luck!
