I have a car as above w 180k miles and want to know the criteria for timing chain replacement. car is running fine but was told that chain can be an isssue at high miles. i'm a decent back yard mechanic -i've replaced timing belts on japanese cars before--how much harder is the chain on a benz? in particular does the head have to come off or is the chain accessible from just a cover?
So it takes some Pin pullers, or a litlte bit of messing around witth proper sized (heavy duty) bolt to pull the pins, i cannot seem to find the timing marks on mine once i got it offand want to put back on, i have a chilton and it doesnt help. if you buy the 100 -200 dolar shop manual from bentley it would probably be quite simple :)
pull, pins, timing cover, water pump, solenoid, etc. to get to timing cover, uppe and lower,pull valve cover, and loosen cam (exhaust side) to get chain off. :)
