mpnye,


I have zero ideas of what was done to your car. But, as a rule of thumb following mercedes service instructions gives great results.

Did you send the crank out to a aircraft service facility???? They don't do hard-chroming for the reasons I've stated. At one time in the past, they did use a process called "chromite" which uses chrome, but does not have the negative effects of hard-chroming. Doesn't have the positive effects of nitrating...

Not sure what you had with an aftermarket turbo and no oil cooling pistons like the factory?? Seen those setups on 240's but they don't tend to last. Did you put a turbo IP and ALDA setup on the car?
