Hi Prochambers,
YUP! That is line disabling the Ign, (looks like it pulls off in the pic) as recommended by MB, is the featured item in the pic I posted yesterday. That said, (I think it is a good idea to get the chain tensioner - tensioned B4 the motor starts!!) I don't do it, I just take the car to get the oil changed. Possibly I'm stupid or something. [8] When new, the car didn't get that treatment (blanket statement here) at the MB dealership. Now that we are dealing with teenage MBs, maybe we should be more aware... [8)]
Anyway, you've got the thermo valves, they're just different manufacturers & prices. 50 degrees C is the ticket.
I've been down to Greenwich, assisting a good friend move a car & clean out a garage. You now, separating stuff really needed - vs. the other. Then there are the 42 or so years of accumulation..... tools, more tools-measuring, machine lathe bits, BS & Whitworth, metric, SAE tools to sort, electrical testing......
His car, and 97% of the accumulation: spares &
really special stuff has now been moved successfully. The remainder, the items that absolutely must be with the car....... are in the trunk of my Volvo.... getting a ride to western Massachusetts tomorrow, I think.
Cheers, MBL
BTW: I saw a gorgeous grey metallic 560SEC heading N on the Merritt Pkwy. late thisafter, on the way home.[
