clean engine june 2009

Wow! That looks like the sort of activity that takes place just before you sell the car! You're not thinking of...........?

oh no, not thinking of .................sssshhhhh!, i love 'the old girl' too much. My dirty engine has been the subject of many posts, so I thought, right, lets get to work and what a difference it made.

lovely. there is something about merc engines that is just lovely to look at. the first one i owned was a 1986 e300, straight six with a plenum the size of a small african nation. it was a thing of real beauty. it was a beautifully balanced engine too with hardly a vibration. it was simply beautiful to both look at and listen to. Yes, my life is this sad...
