The w140 is a pretty complex car that takes more skill and work to diagnose and fix. Parts are different than more traditional designs. I am working through one now so I’m experiencing the differences.
There are more things that go wrong, and it’s really hard to understand what works and doesn’t on your car, plus the condition of the paint. The pictures don’t tell a thousand words.
Since an engine transplant will be a $3000+ ordeal, and because the oil consumption on it points to bent rods vs just a bad HG, it’s a pretty big risk. It’s not clear that the car can be made into a $4500+ car with the investment. If not, it’s not worth it.
