1989 300te...I was at the mechanic's today...as a result of loud tapping sound, the valve cover was removed, to reveal a worn lobe at cylinder #1. What to do now? I could drive it "into the ground", but I know that eventually it will start 'missing' and causing me grief. I could get rid of the car, but I have put $$$ into it (new hydraulic suspension parts, new shocks, some bushings here and there... money).
Mechanic says "Look for a clean used cam with the rockers- must have mated rockers or I will need new ones".
Where do I get such an item...one that I can trust and won't blow out in 6 months?
Any thoughts on the matter?
