IT STARTED
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I checked the cv last night and found the circlip laying in the transmission cup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) pushed it back togeather carefully, and used my brand new pair of ring compressors and snapped it back on there. packed it tightend it, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) i adjusted the valves this morning, hung the exhaust, and ..... my car flys. i took it to work today, and when i get home i will change the oil again. probably will recheck the valves in the morning again. This would be the first engine i ever built (half built). thanks to mike zach and all my worldly friends it really feels good to drive what you built (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) now my dd is back on the road, the mercedes will sit in the garage for a while. |

Nice.
I too have a CV that I have to fix. The difference is I broke bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) . So a tip to those that are interested. If you want to do something different on the CV bolts to make sure they stay tight you can go buy some that are 10mm longer and use a nylock nut to secure them. I learned this on Sunday from a big shot who does these sort of things on very expensive cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Even gave me the name of a good supplier for the bolts. I think I will even saftey wire them as well. A little over done but why not? |

The stock bolts were labeled 12.9 grade same as the socket heads. And no more funny star socket ! BTW I red loctite mine in. |

I have had these bolts stuck in the flange without the locktight in there and I sure wouldn't want to have to deal with the added pain from that. Just my personal opinion from having taking many axles apart. |
