Mercedes Benz repair: 1977 240D Mercedes, piston rings, mercedes benz
Question1977 240D Mercedes Benz. I am going to buy this car knowing that it has a compression problem. What can I expect for repairs if it is piston rings and if I drive it as is, what can I do to protect it until I can have a mechanic look at it. I have heard that "Ametech Engine Restore" is excellent.
AnswerThe only way to stop further damage = do NOT drive it...
No restorative chemical sludge can repair physical/mechanical damage = it will only empty your bank account.
Worst case = scored cylinders = total engine = call Noel's, a reliable source for re-manufactured Mercedes Benz long-block engines.
