M111 Cylinder head Gasket change
Hi folks
May I ask the group's advice on changing the cylinder head gasket on my 94 W124 2 litre, with the M111 16valve engine; 102k miles? I am guessing the head gasket has failed/ is failing, as I've had a very slow water loss now for a year or so, with no visible signs of loss, and now I have a scum in the radiator header tank. Not bad but it needs to be done I think. Otherwise the car runs 100% OK. I've worked on simpler (non-OHC 8valve ) cars over the years, and the Haynes book makes it look easy-ish.(Apart from needing a slide hammer to remove the timing guide pin.) Is this too complex for me to do? Thanks in anticipation Bazzman Surrey England. W124 1994 2litre. M111 engine 102,000 miles |

Nope, you could handle it. But, be sure it's the head gasket. Check the compression, is you oil level dropping, flush out the cooling system and watch it for a bit. If it is the head gasket. Make sure you have the head checked for trueness, check the valves, guides, etc.
