I couldn’t find these specs anywhere on any forum! But thanks to a friend on FB here’s the factory specs of valve sizes on engines M110, M116, M117 & M100 6.9. If I find the M100 6.3 specs (or if anyone else has a service manual for one), please post them here for a handy reference.

Well this one is interesting!!

A mate just bought a early ML500 & early indications are the quality is ####e. Not sure what year it is but I’ll make enquires...

FYI most of the Benz crankshaft bolts are 27mm. The M100 is 50mm & apparently torqued to 400Nm! I was looking for the sizes yesterday & found nothing on the web so had to ask a mate in the know...

Anyone wondering why the w140 has such a good sound system... The surprisingly small drivers are fitted to Bose tuned plastic enclosures which are ported at the bottom. Presumably they calculated the correct enclosure size and ports for the drivers along with port length? Not that different to...

Yep there’s no way they can breathe through this!

And I’m guessing that’s the reason why this one is so quiet even with NO mufflers??? Or could it also be due to the lower CR of a US version? Or poor audio on the recording? Do this on a Chev 427 & im sure you’d be rather deaf for some time.... https://youtu.be/ECoKrh5ueUg

That’s just criminal! Crazy considering the advertised performance aspirations of the model.

I still love this thread... interesting that my Ford is now quieter that when the exhaust was first installed. I’m not sure if it can be attributed to deposits coating the internal surfaces of the exhaust, or the loss of power since she’s now covered over 440k km (yes she’s tired now). Where...

As per the Herald Sun:

There’s no second chances! I’ve had my share of near misses & I’m very careful compared to some cowboys out there...

A twist of something very unsavoury! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F293123632235

How does a 6.9 (or even a 450) even breathe through this thing??? It’s now been proven the stock air filter housing restricts flow into the air flow meter. And that’s just the start!

Reviving an old thread with Soundlabs contact details for OEM repairs.

Without revealing too much, I’m at the scanning stage with the theory stuff completed.... ish!! Pics may or may not throw off potential copycats!! Don’t worry, I plan to manufacture enough manifolds for anyone interested!

All good ideas start somewhere....

So this is what I got up to on Sunday... Unfortunately Dora wasn’t fit to attend!
