I guess the guy took somebody's >advice and put some strange type of additive in the engine oil to >increase HP and the engine only lasted about 1000 miles after that. >JC Jones http://www.wagoneer.net Additives are bad news for most folks, but it worked out for you... spare parts... Actually that motor probably could be rebuilt pretty easy, it's probably the top end/camshaft that failed, that's what happened to the engine I used an additive in. :) The chemistry involved with motor oil is pretty tricky. Lots of snake oil products out there... good quality oil whether synthetic or petroluem is always the way to go. you're every where aren't you JC... ;) BTW, my WJ didn't sell... got a few people making ridiculous offers on it... no biggie... it's a nice rig. later, john - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2001 10:55:25 -0400 From: "Damen Rund" Subject: valve cover tourqe specs Hello all, does anyone know the valve cover torque specs for a '83 300SD 5 cyl? thanks!

Don't use two hands on the wrench, I think I used a 1/4" driver on them in order to not build up to much torque.

Anyone have a clue what year it is? pix at link above. Also received my MIB tonka, circa 1963. email me off list on the year since this list ain't for chevies... but I figured someone on the list might be able to ID it. ;) thanx john - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... jesus, don't leave life without him, please! - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #654 *********************************
