The timing chains have been known to fail very early on these models.. If it has any more than 80k miles, I'd have it checked. 3 degrees is the limit on stretch. If it is out, install a new sprocket and chain, for they both have been updated.

Brad,
Welcome. I expect that our city has the highest representation per capita of any city represented on this forum. Of course, we don't have to tell everybody that Sumner, Texas has only a post office. We don't want to tell them that there is no store, gas station or anything like that in Sumner. But, there is a watertower. See ya' ------------------ Larry Bible '84 Euro 240D, 516K miles '88 300E 5 Speed Over 800,000 miles in Mercedes automobiles |
