BTW, just to give you chain replacers an idea of the value of your work in
addition to the good feeling from doing it yourself, labor for my chain
replacement yesterday was $280 plus $5 shop fee. Yeah, I'd feel better
now if I'd done it myself, but I sure feel better now that it's done than I
did
Timing chain, etc.
Thanks for the info - What is the reccomended replacement interval on the
chain? Just when making noise or based on age or mileage?
Thanks,
peter

Wilton,
did he change out the plastic rail guides as well? My 86 560SL had a
good chain but found the guides were broken when we lifted the valve
covers. Oh wait, maybe the diesel engines don't have these? Dunno.

Indy in Raleigh replaced timing chain in the SDL today. 'Went very well.
'Reconfirmed, again, on drive there and back: That is a GOOD-DRIVING and
GOOD-RIDING car. The 126 is hard to beat for ride and drivability.
Cruising in the interstate at 70 mph or so, it really does feel like
flying -
attempt (at least not

I get a level concrete pad.

'Looks like MB Tex (vinyl) to me; many people, especially MB sellers, who
don't know the difference really THINK (convinced) that it's leather. I
think that the odds are much greater that it is MB Tex (MB's name for
vinyl).

years, most of the
leather
I've seen is dry, cracked, and worn. But I've seen several folks mistake
Tex for leather, so it's an easy mistake.

Many sellers don't seem to really know what they're trying to sell.
