Does anybody have experience correcting a crankshaft counterbalance pulley which is 180 deg out of phase with the camshaft? The car is running fine. I've been working with Kent at
www.**************.com and the best we can figure is:
1. The pins indexing the counterbalance to the crankshaft have sheared due to inadequate torque on the 27mm bolt or
2. A PO installed the counterbalance pulley or camshaft 180 degrees out of phase and the pins are fine. This is a 1983 300DT. Here are some pics of the present situation with the camshaft sprocket mark lined up with the mark on the camshaft tower (last pic is from MB Svc Manual showing position of first cam lobe when #1 is at TDC):
