ADSITCO has then. I do not know how good they are tough. I hope they would be for 5k dollars.

Metric Motors has a fantastic reputation for high quality rebuilt Mercedes engines. They are a long time advertiser in The Star Magazine.

Thanks all. Will check into them.

What is wrong with engine?

Have 2 cylinders smoking mildly fouling plugs a little. But recently broke timing chain guide, hopped a tooth or two resulting in some bent valves.

I am thinking that by the time I invest in rebuilding two uppers, I really do not want to keep a '91 lower, so might as well as do the whole thing. I already have done the cooling, tranny, hydraulic suspension...lets just finish it up and have my new sedan Love this care, great body condition...chris

Your engine will repair for less than half the price of a rebuild. There is never a problem with the bottom end.

What steve said.. Full on rebuilds are getting pricey as the $$ gets weaker and weaker..
