Well a sad day guys my 300sd died a painful death today. I was comeing up to a stop and suddenly I heard a horrable noise. I pulled over and shut her down but it was no use.

Upon reaching home I removed the cover over the cam and discovered the cam broken in half and the chain guide rall broken.
Which happened First I can only Imagine.

I know she was not much to look at but she really ran nice up until today.

Does any one have any idea what would have caused this? even With the cam broken I can still move the engine with a wrench so it didnt seize, plenty of oil ,valves were adjusted? Is she worth fixing I have another head.

Thanks for reading Pat
