I've read a few of the threads on changing the timing chain on the 617 diesel engine. Some of the things have worried me and some make it look like cake. It otherwise sounds doable, but it seems that the hardest thing will be is to find someone to help me do it. Would this be something that my wife could help me with even though she has little mechanical knowledge?
Anyone have some other good advice before I tear into the engine? Is there a thread or site that basically shows how to do it step by step? So far I haven't found it. As many of you may know, this is for my '85 300D.
Thanks.
