Cheep paké Prastic timing chain guides IF they were not already replaced.
Not terribly expensive, but takes a day or two.
Helps to have a shop loan you the tool that
guides the new chain in, unless you have someone
available to turn the engine while you do that.
I'd change the chain at the same time. Just 'cuz.
Anything to be concerned about a M116 with 100k miles?

So Dan,
I have been looking at an 89 420SEL. Should I avoid it because of the
m117?

And the M119 is pretty darned bulletproof. I've always been a little
gun
shy of the MB V8s after having an M117 crater on me, but the M119 is
built
like a brick doghouse. I've got one that approaching 300k and one that
was
around 275k and neither has ever given me a bit of trouble. The 300k
(little Tommy's 1998 S420) did need a coil a couple of weeks ago, but
that's the first thing I've done to it in nearly a year and a half of
ownership other than regular maintenance.
Oh - the coil cost around $50 and took all of 10 minutes to swap. And
while I did use my DAS system to diagnose it, you could also use a
standard
OBDII reader as well.

What does PSE stand for, and how expensive to fix it?

Interior is rough, I'm betting it's got PSE issues as the trunk

cinched down in the proper position. Didn't have time to run a
sweeper
in the interior. Would have to know more.
