Check the stretch on the chain -- line the notch in the thrust washer
behind the sprocket up with the nub on the side of the front cam
bearing tower and read the crankshaft timing at the pointer. If more
than 8 degrees late, replace chain. Tensioner should be quite hard
shortly after
Hi all!
So I'm doing the spring work on the fleet and have an
old 82 300d. Well the durned thing vibrates and
clanks a little more then I think it should.
I replaced the motor mounts last year (but did not
replace the little vibration damper) and it marginally
fixed the vibrations.
Hue,
You might check the Transmission mount and the differential mount,
before you go looking inside the engine. When you did the timing
chain, did you adjust the valves?
In my experience, and others have far more than I do, it makes sense
to do one repair at a time, then check for the
I did do the tranny mount,, but not the diff mount...
not sure I saw that mount on my dio-gram. I think I
thought the tranny mount was the only one under there
besides the moter mounts.
Thanks~
