It can be replaced in the car, you just have to remove whatever is in front of it, in my case thats the injection pump. I've tried JB twice but the coolant makes its way through before the JB can harden. Its slowed significantly but there is still a pinhole left.

(08-19-2010, 02:06 AM)Captain America Why don't you drain the coolant before you apply the JB?The cooling system in this engine already had a rust issue that was a royal PITA to clear up. I'd like to keep air exposure to a minimum so I don't have to go through that again.

The ignition tumbler finally jammed for good and left me stranded, only 2 miles from home.
I called AAA but the request of "bring a drill and 3/16 bit" pretty much made their brains explode. Three hours later the truck finally arrives. Then the tow driver damn near ripped a gash in the frame before I stopped him and pointed out the tow loops on each end of the car. To top it off I had to listen to his "9/11 was a conspiracy" bullshit the whole way home.
Now I've got go drive the other car to work, get my drill and get that damn steering lock out of there.
That sucks. I've managed to get all mine fixed right before certain doom. Are you going to have it releafed or just carry two keys for it?

I found the source of #5's nailing, low compression.
Cold Hot
1- 300
2- 330
3- 340
4- 335 360
5- 250 275
Oh well, it runs well enough. I'll just have to live with it like I do my 240's knocking wrist pin.

I don't know. I'll have to build a leakdown tester to see where the air is going.
The 617 has rotocaps. Doesn't mean it still works though.
Try some bg 109 in some fresh oil for a week! We did it on a land cruiser 6 cyl and picked up 60psi in compression on one cylinder and like 10-20 on the others might help! My dads 6.9 ford non turbo really woke up after using it!
I guess it helps clean the rings!
I think with the tank of B50 a few months ago, synthetic 15W50, no crankcase gasses going back into the intake, 6.6gph water injection (its used about 10 gallons so far) and daily Italian tuneups, carbon should pretty much be gone from the cylinders. It still averages 23.4mpg too.
maybe it's some worn valves?
Looks to be that way. The leakdown test has most of the air going out the exhaust pipe.

I finally replaced that broken column lock to one from a junkyard 80 300D that still had the keys in it.
I also got a new toy from a GMC Topkick.

Its fairly common if you look at every car, especially domestics. There have been occasions where I needed to stash something (don't want to carry it around the lot, for example) so I just put it in a car's trunk and lock it. Most people won't take the effort to force open a trunk. I even left a manifold in the trunk of a Volvo for a week before I remembered it!
Heh heh heh... I used to collect JY keys...
Till I had to rip a truck to pieces to find the key between the seats so I could uuse the door lock cylinders...
Only waiting on a 2-2.5 silicone boot to finish. I bought one on ebay but the seller screwed me over and never shipped after a week.
We used to use SS wire to attatch the keys to the column. Made us alot more money on the column sales & less destruction.

That's all poking through the hood? Quite a statement. Looks good!

Just a quick video accelerating onto the highway to test microphone placement. I'll get a good 0-60 video this weekend.
That sounds nice!
Is the fuel consumption figure still in this ballpark?
Did you repaint the needles? The yellow on the gauges looks almost orange so I am assuming its original. Good god that is loud. Where is the mic, in the engine bay?

About 10" from the air filter.

i hate people who do that. every time i come across a w123 where someone did that, i make an extra effort to open the trunk up because obviously there is something good in there that someone wanted to bogart for themselves.

Thats why I always pick some shitbox like a Buick, NEVER the same type of car the parts are from.
