M 119.972 Engine... One of the greatest engines or not?
I was told by my MB parts connection that if the engine in my car is maintained well it would last almost forever; or at least 500,000 miles. He said that this engine has its problems with the peripheral items (crummy wire harness, ETA problems, etc.) but the motor itself is flawless. I kind of believe him because at 116K miles, there is no tick-tick-tick sounds from the rocker arms or any other sounds except for the "whooshing" air of the fan blades and the humming of the motor. Does anybody agree/disagree and why?
