I had the chain break on the 300SE as I was cruising on the freeway at 110 km/p.

It just happened, and the engine died while the car was gently coached to the emergency lane. Smoke blowing out for a while, and only the air-cond worked ... though not very comfortably.

Got it towed to the usual MB garage and had it fixed on warranty since the chain was just changed 2 months prior.

It required a head job - valves, and a new chain. I saw the chains in shambles ... bits and pieces of what was once a beautiful link.
