[W126 Coupe] Engine death rattle ?

[Richard Hesek]

   Lots of great replies here regarding my engine rattle and confirming
what I felt was the situation.
 My engine has approximately 100k miles on it. The car, however, has 242k.
Which opens up new topics of discussion.
Given this, and the fact that the car is 20+ years old, I have to expect
that next week something else will need repair/ replacement.
Also, come early spring, I will be making 4 hour round trips 3 or 4 times
per week.

Time for some newer wheels.

Thanks,
