Hey am new here and from Sweden, has a mercedes project that I want to share with me.
The car was purchased for 1,500 Swedish crowns with dead top gasket....
The body however, is almost entirely of stainless steel, there are about three surface rust stains.
I'm a real fan of mercedes

Now everything is mounted on the engine, only air cover left and I'll replace the diffuser gaskets, etc.

Engine Start
Lubricated the camshaft and everything else at the top, the engine was started and went like clockwork
,let it stand idle for about 20 minutes, it chilled me as planned and no cooking
.
then it was time to go home for this car, after 3 km use the unimaginable happened
....The car died and the oil pressure came down to zero, the tachometer also died. I scroll down to the nearest exit
,
It was towed back to the garage, this made me almost cry:

Old engine

A few days later the engine in place and I was desperately searching the error on why the engine starts and idles, then dies?
Nothing wrong with the engine, it may fuel and ignition ....
some other stuff I've done over time to not be sick of turning on the engine
Being clean up these so they will shine
