Anyone looked into one lately? How about bought or rebuilt one?

Need to find an estimate on a rebuild or rebuilt engine for a 1987 300D wagon.

I have found them for around $6k with a new head and rebuilt IP. If money is no object your local dealer can get you a brand new complete engine for $13,500!

Call Mike @ Metric (800) 622-6867 [West Coast] I believe he offers 4yr./50k

Call "Noel's" (Orlando, Fla.area) (407) 644-6700 (Noel probably knows more
about your engine type than Mercedes)

Necessary parts for a rebuilt (complete minus new rods) ran around $5000 a couple years ago when I priced it. New rods will add quite a bit if you have a bent one, only available in complete sets (new ones are considerably tougher than the old ones).

Not gonna be cheap, sadly.

Definately give Mike a call at Metric... Top Notch work, and a Top Notch Guy! I just had them do my 606 cylinder head a few weeks back. EXCELLENT. Not cheap, but excellent.

Anyone use Carrillo rods on the late model diesels? Not cheap either but they are STRONG and well built.
