I am a fair mechanic but mostly American V-8s. I have a 1981 380SL that has the dreaded single row timing chain. The chain was replaced at about 40K (before I owned it) and now at 80K it is time to do it again.
I found a video on YouTube but it was for a double row chain (

Is there any difference in the procedure for a single row chain?
I plan to do the chain, three guides, and the tensioner. Besides a new fan clutch and valve cover gaskets, do I need to do any thing else?
Thanks for the help
