1985 300D weird vibration
I started noticing that under heavier right turns, I'm getting a slight but definitely noticeable vibration. I have not checked the PS fluid yet but I'm guessing it could be a wheel bearing. Is this accurate?

Mixing injector cores when rebuilding?
I need to rebuild the injectors on my 1979 300TD, and I have a set of Monarks that I ordered here. I have access to a pop-tester and a shim kit.
I asked my mechanic about obtaining cores so I could do the rebuild at my leisure. He sold me ($50) a mixed set of turbo and non-turbo injectors, after measuring them and deciding it would work.
I don't think he's correct. I suspect the springs in the turbo injector bodies are stronger, and that no amount of shim removal is going to get me the required pop pressure.
Can you confirm or deny?
thanks!!

Passenger side front window motor
1984 123 300dt. Need to replace the passenger side front window motor. Circuit and switches test OK. Is there an alternative year or model that will fit? Close-by wrecking yards have 123's and 126's, and other Mercedes models.

Rear crankshaft seal
It has been said that if the rear crankshaft seal is leaking, it would come out of the opening in the bell housing of the transmission. And, that one should not be confused about oil coming from further forward on the engine.
Can I assume that if my torque converter was clean and dry, that the rear crankshaft seal is not leaking?

1986 300SDL WVO oil filter
Has anyone developed a way to predict that your FM100 (or other WVO filter) is getting clogged? i have found that i don't have much warning when it is starting to affect the performance of my car. If i didn't have the option of switching to my second tank (diesel fuel) it might really get in trouble some time on a longer trip.
Is there a way to do it with a pressure gauge prior to the filter.....?
Interested in you comments.

Valve Adjustment 83 MBCDT
Mercedessource Diesel Valve Adjustment Procedures calls for and shows the cam lobe to be straight up, ie vertical.
Mercedes Maintenance Manual: Tip of cam should be vertical in relation to the rocker arm.
Haynes states same and shows the lobe to be 1 o'clock. Diesel Giant says the same but shows vertical position in second photo of two lobe positions.
Vertical lobe or 1 o'clock looking front to firewall down the camshaft?
