m104

I'm trying to lower the compression on my E320, M104 engine prior to turbo charging. Does anyone know the part numbers for different thickness headgaskets? As I understand it thicker ones were used for some markets that had crappy fuel. A thicker gasket would be ideal for turboing. It's a...

I've recently bought a very nice W124 E280 estate to augment my 200. It's a 100,000 mile 1996 car, 2 owners, fsh, leather and aircon. It was delivered to the dealer in November 1995. I am fully aware of the potential head gasket and engine loom problems with these, but what I'd like to know is...

I need to find out what all the vacuum lines are coming from the inlet manifold because I'm fitting a supercharger. There are 6 vacuum lines I can see: 1. small pipe to the fuel pressure regulator 2. small pipe to the MOT valve (what is this?) 3. larger pipe to the brake servo 4. small...
