<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave26027, post: 2484303, member: 33137&quot;]Everything said above about Mercedes engines is true. They&#039;re built so bad that Mercedes doesn&#039;t build them any more (so that their mechanics can get some time off from fixing the ones that are broken). Mine went through three rebuilds in a few weeks&#039; time- is on it&#039;s third turbo, second exhaust brake, second clutch (auto trans) and a BUTTLOAD of small broken stuff. Alternators, egr valve, J-pipe, etc, etc..</p><p><br /></p><p>The last rebuild was done three hundred thousand miles ago but I&#039;ve been watching a minor head gasket leak develop- a bad omen..</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy a real engine, not a real problem. Get something made of steel with gaskets in it, not aluminum and plastic with O-rings sealing everything. Get an older Detroit, Cat or Cummins, not a &quot;girlie-motor&quot; like the ones we&#039;re all stuck with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
