Re: [MBZ] Was Speedy Gonzalez, Now timing chain and rails
Wilton, I think this is a 617 engine but there are many tips and pictures that may add to your pile of information. http://www.dieselgiant.com/replacetimingchain.htm Seems like I remember someone used bungy cords. They were attached to the hood and regripped ever so often to keep the chain tight all the way through. Harry Yeah, I thought somebody was gonna jump on that. Before I commit to the Indy, I'll read some of the procedures/tips you guys have written. I may have to do it myself, anyway. Any tips, steps, procedures?

I've replaced the chain in 615, 616, and 617 engines, and replaced the heater fan in a 115 chassis. The chain is a lot easier. Just keep it tight on the cam sprocket - I used wire.

Hi Wilton, Maybe you can walk us through the timing chain change when you do it.

Here in the desert, they suddenly were the same (around $2.04), but now unleaded is dropping a bit. I paid $1.98 for unleaded for the Jetta this morning, $2.04 or diesel out on the freeway yesterday.

Re: [MBZ] Stinky car
You usually have to push the new brushes up to get them on the slip rings, but the regulator should fit into the hole with ease. There are other problems beside a bad regulator, though -- worn slip rings that eat the new brushes off very quickly, and internal shorts, etc., but none of those usually result in an overcharged battery. If you cannot get the new regulator in correctly, I'd replace the alternator. Peter On Feb 20, 2009, at 11:31 PM, Fmiser wrote: Fmiser wrote: 10 miles into it I notice a terrible stink!
