1986 bad news? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Hawkone115 on  Sat Mar 24 13:09 CST 2012 [RELATED]

Ok I have now been informed by a mechanic (neighbor) my engine pressure is still to high after replacement of the flame trap disc (now removed) and oil seperation box. I have no loss of combustion or lack of power. I have the rear cam seal that blew out last week but I am leary of spending anytime removing the valve cover just to have it blow out again.

He suggested using an engine restore or flush product to see if it would loosen what he suspected may be stuck or worn out rings to see if that would reduce the engine oil pressure. Any other possible way engine pressure would build like this please let me know, I would hate to scrap such a nice vehicle.

1986 240DL 140,000 presently 29 mpg.
