300td valve adjustment
I bought a 300td about 2 years ago and after 35000 miles i decided to check the valves. They were about.010in and .012in. the car was starting rough or not at all if it was cold (20F-30F). I already tightened up the vacuum system and ran two diesel purges which seemed to help for a day or two. from a previous 300 diesel i owned ,that had similiar symptoms, i noticed the car started better with about .012 and .015 clearances. I adjusted to this clearance and it helped a little. i know these settings are looser than called for but it seems to help. Is there risk to the engine at these clearances?

420SEL - runs bad and at a loss
Okay, here's my trouble...I bought an old 1988 420 sel as a restoration project and spent over a year patching up and polishing the job. After a new suspension, new rims and tires, transmission repair, paint job, tune-up, and custom parts installation, I thought I was doing pretty good. In fact, the car looked sharp and I was well-pleased with the results. However, last year I drove to Myrtle Beach (from central Kentucky) and back.

1981 300D: grinding noise near alternator/water pump...
I have a 1981 300D. A few weeks ago the charge indicator light came on, so I replaced the voltage regulator (thanks for the plastic tie), and the light went off. Two weeks later I was driving with the windows down, and heard an unfamiliar metallic noise coming from the engine. The sound is coming from the front - near the alternator and water pump area. Per your advice I poured water over the belts and...the noise stopped. I sighed in relief, until I noticed that the belt had slipped on the alternator, which had stopped spinning.
