I know, of course, that I need to look for the dreaded single-row timing chain on the 3.8 liter... is the difference between single- and double-row chains obvious once I get a valve cover off?
Absolutely.
Anything else to look for? I've never driven a gas 126 or a coupe, but have test-driven 300SDs and SDLs at various times so I have a rough idea what the car ought to feel like if the suspension is in decent shape. (And I should expect it to have about the same amount of grunt as an SDL, right?)
It should have some more horsepower, but probably a little less torque. Still, ought to feel fairly snappy---just not a powerhouse. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
