RE: Calling all AMG owners

I have had my amg for about 3 years. I know omegabenz/mcleoud. I almost bought that hammer. I had been watching it for about 6 months, and was saving the money to buy it when he picked it up off yahoo auctions. I am familiar with the 32v, but have never cracked open the head on my own. I am very fortunate to have found a mechanic in cincinatti, who built several 32v cars at the dealership in the 80's. He currently has my car, and is doing the mechanical restoration for me. I am a fairly good wrench, but have always been affraid of servicing the car because of its rarity. I knew that if i broke it while working on it, i wouldnt be very happy with myself. I have access to several good machine shops, and other fabricators. The plan is to make several sets of spark plug wires, cam tower gasgets, and other amg specific bits. If i can get omegabenz to lend me his valve tool, i could probably get it duplicated for everyone, and have my mechanic write up instructions on how to use it. Get the word out, and also, try and get that car in the condo under the car cover. If he doesnt want to sell it, tell him that i may be able to fix it. Since my motor is on the bench, it would not be hard to compare the two, and fix his broken 32v. Lets get as many as we can back on the road.
Thanks
Hans
