220D Cam Chain Tensioner Rail Question
I have a 1972 220D (Engine No 615912-10-239249) that I am about to drop a new chain, tensioner, guide rails and spockets into.
At the moment it has the Type A tension rail, has this been superceded by the Type B tension rail? If not, can I use the Type B? Any help greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas to all. Last edited by nzKiwi; 12-24-2005 at 11:55 AM. |

chain tensioner
I'm wondering if you mean by Type B Tensioner, the ratcheting type? I just replaced my tensioner and rails on my 69 220d & used the original Type A. There is nothing wrong with the design of the original so I think it is safe to stick with it. Someone more knowledgeable than me might know better though.

Thanks for your reply, Ralph.
I'am afraid I did not phrase my query very well. My question is about the tensioner rail that sits against the tensioner. Mine is currently the Type A that has the top of the rail turned down that sits against the tensioner. All the sales sites that I have looked at only picture the Type B, which has a full length metal sleeve with a built-out bracket with a pin that sits against the tensioner. I have now found that in the Mercedes service manual it states that Type B rails can be used inplace of Type A rails. Then goes on to state that this does not apply to cylinder heads with "Chain Tensioner Oil Pockets". How do you know if your head has "Chain Tensioner Oil Pockets"? I'am now off to do more reseach |
