When is he buying these tires? Winter tires are significantly worse on dry or

If you're setting valves on a diesel, you want the cam lobe to be 180 degrees
(opposite) the flat spot on the follower. That's not necessarily straight
up. I eyeballed it for years and never had a problem. Straight up is not
usually 180 degrees out.

Just check the chain stretch once in a while, replace before it gets

They never make noise on a diesel, at least not until the valves

You can find an aftermarket one for less than that, I'll bet. I got the rear
cover for my W140 from an online supplier and it was $20. Definitely not OE,
