Low compression engine SA code 473?
has anyone who is familiar with mercecdes EPC ever heard of SA code 473? the code says it is for use in countries with low quality fuel. i just had the heads off of my 500SEL vin number WDB1260371A203332, it appears to have this engine. i would have pulled the engine and replaced the pistons had i thought of this further.
i did notice the pistons were dished rather than flat or with a dome top. so moral of the story don't assume that since it is a euro model that it has the high output engine. a little reasearch told me this car was delivered in israel, i guess in the mid 80s 's they had poor quality gas.

well i decided to leave well enough alone, car runs perfect, just rebuilt the heads, and as a plus with the lower compression i can use low octane unleaded, still very fast, just was thinking what it could do with higher compression
