(02-17-2014, 06:32 PM)lgreeley83 Well I went and looked today....whoa. He claimed a daily driver. That thing was buried in snow hidden behind other cars. Found documents on floor from junk auto auctions. Hood was not bolted on.
WVO grime all over. Evidence of a single tank set up. Probably a line in line set up. The hose the heat the fuel line gone but an odd fuel line wrapping around the engine. Plenty of gunked up primary filters laying around.
Tested resistance on glow plugs and all were good. Glow light not on though. Used my jumper box and it turned well enough to start.....no oil circulation in the head? When cold I opened the oil cap and the head was dry, oil pressure was pegged high. I let it keep running. When warm oil started moving through it. Coolant reservoir was empty, white smoke, #16 head. Bad idle.
Body and interior were nice. Sad but I don't have time to mess with that.
Heavy tapping too. Maybe a collapsed lifter?
I sorta like that w124 chassis. That may be something I go for down the road.
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
