Geez, these are scary stories as my E420 reaches 100,000 miles. I was contemplating replacing the chain, upper guides and tensioner, maybe the check valve in the oil filter housing. Do I need to consider having the front end completely torn apart and replace the lower guides, as well?

Techs: What are you recommending?

DIY-er's: Is it tough to thread in a new chain without it skipping a tooth?

thanks,
Bob Johnston
