[W126 COUPE] Headlamp Wiper Non Stop Spray

Yes I had already disconnected the front headlamps from the resovoir.
All grommets and resovoir are new so no chance of damaging those. Ok
I'll look into that one pump then I guess.
Thanks Dick

Eddie,
Back to your original question:
"The projected power figures almost exactly match the amg 117 5.6 SOHC
engine with tubular headers (but i am running euro 4 piece cast manifold
still). so....does anyone know what was renntech's advertised hp and
torque for the 6.0? What other modifications did AMG do to the 5.6 SOHC
besides cams and headers?"
I have a Motor Trend Road Test dated August 1987 titled:
Mercedes - Benz
560SEC AMG
Four cams and 32 valves equals high performance for high dollars
Could that be of any value to you? If so I will scan and post here if
possible or send to you. In fact this article I purchased on eBay is an
extra as I bought a book of reviews that includes it. If you wanted the
original for better photo quality you or anyone else interested could
have it for the $4.50 I paid plus postage.
The article mentions 5953 cc
375 HP @ 5500 rpm
407 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
Best,
John

I tend to agree with you as the book was published in the UK. The only

article in conjunction with the European Kat model as you mention.
Thanks, this is one less thing that I have to ponder.

Subject: RE: [W126 Coupe] went to dyno
There are several possible reasons for the higher HP and torque figure,
but most likely the editor got the engine's mixed up and thought the US
engines are the same as Euro engines with Kats. In fact, Euro engines
with emission controls are still more powerful than US because of higher
compression ratio (which was specified after some of the initial
technical specs were published). The US engines had lower compression
because during the initial release period the US fuel still varied too
much and could cause knock/ping/pre-ignition. Same problem in Australia
I believe.
Any other sources listing the higher HP? Several people have dyno-ed
stock engines for our cars and they all come out to about 200 hp (varies
between 190 and 205). My engine is FAR from stock. As a matter of
fact, every time I do any major work on my car I find something else
that has been modified (which means I have to buy more expensive
parts)...for example last time I had the front shocks changed I
discovered to my horror Bilstein HDs are not the same as the blue
striped ones (AMG) I had in the car..which the shop had already thrown
out.
The previous owner didn't even have any idea as to what had gone into
the car and didn't keep much paperwork. He just threw money at the car,
and got tired of it in the early 90s when this model was replaced (at
24k miles).
Plus he raced porsches.

The book I refer to is:
Mercedes - Benz since 1945.
Volume 4: The 1980's.
A collector's guide
by James Taylor
This book can be found on the MBCOA website.
This is the quote I find on page 38 and there is at least one other
mention of higher horsepower and torque in the book.
" In the USA, for example, the emissions - controlled 5.6 - liter engine
was down to 272 bhp from the 300 bhp of its European equivalent. The
difference was academic, though: even the 272 bhp engine was much more
powerful than anyone needed in a country with a blanket 55 mph speed
limit ! "
Later in the book while discussing various engines this is the
description of the 560 SEL/SEC
" 5,547 cc, 96.5 x 94.8 mm, V8 - cyl OHC, type M117. Bosch fuel
injection.
300 bhp at 5,000 rpm; 325 lb.ft at 3,750 rpm ( non - US models. ) 272
bhp at 5,000 rpm; 307 lb.ft at 3,750 rpm ( US models. ) "
I have wanted to bring this forward for some time and since you seem to
have actual proof this seems like a good time. I am interested in any
comments.

The stock California( 50-state, federal, etcetera) 560 sends exactly 200
hp to the rear wheels. Taking off cats and installing headers gives you
about
25 hp. I have other modifications.

Check the two electric pumps at the base of the fluid reservoir. One
for windscreen the other for the headlamps to see if one is somehow
getting juice all the time. You can unplug the electrical connection to
the headlamp pump and still leave the windscreen operable until you
determine the cause of continuous operation.
Be careful not to disturb these pumps as they are seated into the
plastic reservoir. The rubber grommets tend to dry out and will leak if
you move the pump too much.

Hi Mike,
I will take another look but it does look like the pump itself.
I wonder if a hydraulics shop would be of any assistance if it is the
pump leaking.

Bruce,
Bob Cavazos just put in a new hydraulic line from that pump. That was
his leak - it wasn't the pump. Are you sure the pump is leaking???

Bruce,
These pumps seem to last forever. If yours is one of the very few that
went
bad, I'd just go to a salvage yard and get one off an SEL or SEC. The
hydraulic shop could help if it's a bad line, but doubt they'd be much
help
with that little pump. Give me a call if you need to replace the pump or
line and I'll give you Bob C's phone number as he just did it.

These are the before the brake upgrade photos of Sam's car. Those wheels
look awesome, though I think with those wheels and a black body the car
would benefit by having the bumpers, lower panels, and grill (not the
chrome parts of course) painted black.

Richard,
Thank you for the offer... That is a cool site and wicked to boot!! :-)
Nice 126 SE...
I especially like the soccer photos which I couldn't view. Maybe I could
get the password someday.
I will be in contact with you about posting some photos on the SEC brake
project.
Thanks again!
Sam
Eddie,
I may have been misunderstood... I am not literally working with Daryl
on the fabrication of the brake system... I am simply purchasing the
system from Daryl's company. By working with him I meant verbally
defining the system specifics and educating myself in the process.
Thank you for the offer of hosting my photos... I may take you up on
that if Richard manages to piss me off. HA!
Sam

I could also host your pictures on a wicked cool site like
http://www.davidson.smugmug.com. Not that I'm plugging that site for any
particular reason or anything like that (actually, come to think of it
I'm not, the photos that anybody has any likelihood of buying, I am
contractually obligated not to show you).

That is correct...
I'm working with Daryl on a 14" brake system, drilled and slotted with
Wilwood 4 piston calipers. As these fit nicely in an 18" wheel, they
will upgrade the braking about 40% by the sheer rotor size increase
alone... Not to mention, they should look great through an open BBS RA
type wheel.
Once I have them on the SEC, I will share my opinions along with photos
if someone will help me post them on a site.

Hi,
Sam is in the process of upgrading his brakes, maybe he has some input.

The only time that mine work is when the headlights are on, which leads
me to think that there is a relay in the system that is stuck on.

Check the two electric pumps at the base of the fluid reservoir. One
for windscreen the other for the headlamps to see if one is somehow
getting juice all the time. You can unplug the electrical connection to
the headlamp pump and still leave the windscreen operable until you
determine the cause of continuous operation.
Be careful not to disturb these pumps as they are seated into the
plastic reservoir. The rubber grommets tend to dry out and will leak if
you move the pump too much.
