Hey guys , I'm greg from just out side philadelphia , pa ... I just bought my first mercedes diesel , it's a 1983 300cd with 85K on the car ...rust free !
I come from a mechcanical back ground , mostly worked on american and japanese ...I love how these cars were just ahead of there time ...its a really cool car.
It dose have a few issue's , the motor was covered on grime , looks like injector seal washers and slight valve cover leak in the front ... thats about it for the leaks .
I also have a pretty hard first and second shift , from all the post you guys have on here that really gives me alot to work with .
My big question is where do you guys buy the parts for these diesel motors ?
I still have a account with my local parts house and they only have so much stuff ?
I need to get these injector seals ?
I was just looking at a injector , looks like a metal to metal mating surface ...is this correct , no seals ?
Thanks for all the great reading .
