Very interesting video - a cliffhanger until tomorrow! I too heard that diesel can be used to soak the pistons and maybe free them up - maybe an inch or two in each cylinder, and leave for 24+ hours. BUT (disclaimer) I never tried it myself.
Nice, I'm curious if the little amount of liquid wrench will do the trick. On other channels they dump cans of marvel mystery oil or Diesel in the engine. Good luck with this Benz
Next episode should be shortly - you'll find out :D
Whats up with the CLK obsession? On my GLE63 it was as hard stuck as your. I used WD40 and a LONG lever to get brutal force. Now all runs fine on it.
I don’t know :) Few reasons- clk’s are selling good, parts selling good (if I part it out) and I have almost al the parts needed for the repair including few engines laying around.
might want to use diesel fuel to free up the cylinders rather than expensive spray can products. it works just as well and costs next to nothing.
I wasn't actively looking, but I think that my local gas stations doesn't have a diesel pumps (at least the ones close to me). However I may be wrong, because it's been like 6-7 years since I had a diesel vehicle last time and wasn't looking specifically for the diesel pumps.
Where can I find an engine for my clk350
If you will mention at least a continent you are looking for the engine at - possibly someone may help you out.
