The normal clearance for valve head to piston is aprox .035 in. I think i understand how to measure this and then from there it's a matter of matching the Timing specs for this car using the right sized key.
Anyway the description for valve timing measurement in the Chiltons book is har dto understand entrierley because the pictures are so dark. They als mention a degree wheel that is not present in my copy of the book or was allready torn out and used.
The description in the mercedes manual is a little more concise.. now I just need to buy a dial indicator with a suitable holder.
