84 300d turbo Valve adjustment and compression test
Two quick questions. I am about to adjust the valves (5cyl 617) to do a compression test on an engine that has not been turned in a couple of years. I just took the valve cover off and everything looks as it should. No sign of corrosion anywhere, oil still present on surfaces.
Should I put oil down the cylinders prior to turning for valve adjustment?
How much in each cylinder?
Thanks

88 190d shut off lever staying down/ hard start
After I drive my 190D and shut It off,I noticed it has a hard time to restart sometimes.It has been like this for awhile now.After checking things out, I found that the stop lever on the injection pump stays down and takes a long time to come back up.Would this be a fault in the shut off valve?If i have someone hold the lever up the car starts right up.What would cause this to do that?

After installing new motor mounts, transmission vibrating on cross piece
I installed all three new motor mounts on my 1979 300SD W116, the engine did not line up very well while putting in new front mounts, prying the engine was necessary. The rear mount was a snap, however, I had to pry the bell housing from the cross member to get it to avoid vibration while underway, going in reverse up hill was very loud. The engine/transmission is settling back on the cross member. Any ideas?
The chassis has about 340k miles on it and the engine was rebuilt about 85k miles ago by the previous owner. I can say that the rubber under the car is warn.

123 Wagon Sunroof Parts
I am rebulding a sunroof from a 1984 wagon and need to know about availability of the white plastic glides/guides for the rear of the sunroof. They clip onto a bracket at each rear corner of the sunroof. Alternatively, can I use the felt glides that fit the front corners?
thanks for your help!
