This #R107, #560SL Video: Installing The Timing Chain, Upper Guides & Chain Tensioner
In this video, I demonstrate how I install the timing chain, upper guides (slide rails), chain tensioner and set the timing on the M117. Subscribe to my YouTube channel if you would like to support this project. This video is relevant to all #M116, #M117 Mercedes-Benz 8 cylinder gas, 3.8L, 4.2L, 5.0L, 5.6L engines.
Please subscribe if you would like to support this project. You may need my help one day and I will be here for you.
I am documenting every part of this vehicle as I put it back together. The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet.
