Never mind the head bolts...I stripped one of the allens (the head not the threads) holding the generator assembly onto the block last night. 20 year old bolts don't like to move. Why did MB use allen heads on the alternator brackets and hex heads on the PS brscket? My chain guide pins don't like to move either...I have tried the bolt and washer method but I don't think they make a M6 bolt strong enough...may have to break down and but the $50 tool.

Good luck w/ your project. I think if you work on it as a hobby it will be fun but if you put a time limit on it and need that car running by a certain time it'll become stressful. Enjoy!
