I did. My '98 E300 cam shaft broke in three places. Shattered pieces all over the place. Metal shrapnel in the oil pan. Valves bent. pistons damaged. Hence, below on cars owned, 1998 E300 TD - R.I.P. But that's why I said for piece of mind have someone take a look. But, yes I am talking from experience. And I'm following this thread out of curiosity of the outcome. So Ray, please keep us updated.
