I would treat the Benz the same way; a couple bottles of alcohol run through it and then keep the tank topped up.

I have an 82 380SL that needs a head gasket, but it keeps getting pushed to the back of the list of projects. Actually I am a little concerned about all the stories I have heard about those engines and head removal.

Since it has aluminum heads and an aluminum block the steel head bolts have a tendency to get involved with electolysis processes that cause the block threads to come along with the bolts.

I need to find time to pull the engine and be able to deal with it as a long term project rather than tie up my one car workspace.

So many projects; so little time.
