This may seem like a silly question but I have a friend who's 76 300D threw a rod at 120,000k mi They drive the car only 5K/yr and have it serviced religiously by MB only! Is this just the luck of the draw or is there some underlying problem with the crankshaft. Is it worth rebuilding the engine or should the engine be replaced? They are very attached to the car and would actually like to keep it longer if possible. Any thoughts or suggestions from this group? Thanks wolf
