"I'd just check the timing chain stretch - same as on a Diesel, and look at the rails that are visible while you're there - I think you just need to pull the right cam cover. How many miles on it? Any history?" It only has 104K. On a diesel that would be a mixed blessing. Low miles, but they could be all city. I don't think that is quite as bad as on the gas motors. Unknown history at this point. I am still investigating. If I do get this car, this would the lowest mileage car I have ever had (MB or others) since I was 16. Donald H. Snook
