A 117 cratered? That is odd as those engines are pretty bullet proof also except for needing timing chains at about 130k. Sent from my iPhone > On May 1, 2016, at 8:21 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > And the M119 is pretty darned bulletproof. I’ve always been

Anything to be concerned about a M116 with 100k miles? Dwight Giles Jr. 1982 300CD 1990 300D Wickford RI On May 1, 2016 9:52 PM, "Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes" < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Yes. 4.2 is 116, the 4.5 and 5.6 is 117 Sent from my iPhone > On May 1, 2016, at 8:46 PM, Dwight

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

Re: [MBZ] Temp vehicle for Wilton, and Dan-140-man-bait

Even though they are the same the 117 seems to not have those issues like the 116 for some reason. The 420 feels like a diesel compared to a 560. How do you mean that "feels like a diesel?" are you saying it is noisy? That the 420 is more torquey? or that the 560 has way more power? Or

[MBZ] Sold the SL

Mercedes-Benz: SL-Class 450SL This was an interesting sale. The winning bidder made a cheater deal with the owner of the 1974 SL I was selling on CL. He had contacted me in March to take a look at the above car, but flaked. Last week he shows up at my Indy claiming to not know me and that

Re: [MBZ] Temp vehicle for Wilton, and Dan-140-man-bait

The 560 has way more power compared to the 420. If you drive a 560 then jump in a 420 you will see what I mean. Sent from my iPhone On May 1, 2016, at 9:21 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes wrote: >> Even though they are the same the 117 seems to not have those issues like

Re: [MBZ] Temp vehicle for Wilton, and Dan-140-man-bait

The 560 has way more power compared to the 420. If you drive a 560 then jump in a 420 you will see what I mean. M116 in a 107 is tight, but mostly serviceable. one plug is nearly unaccessible. I looked at one 560SL and the M117 was so tight in there I am not sure you could change spark

Re: [MBZ] Temp vehicle for Wilton, and Dan-140-man-bait

To be honest, while having access to a DAS/Xentry system is helpful when troubleshooting these cars, it’s certainly not required. Nearly everything can be diagnosed through basic troubleshooting and onboard diagnostics. While there are a lot of electronics on the W140, it’s all military grade

Unless there is documentation otherwise I would go ahead and replace the chain and tensioner. Inspect guide rails and oiler tubes while there. Sent from my iPhone > On May 1, 2016, at 9:04 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > Anything to be concerned about a
