M103 Timing chain snapped
Wow what a dissapointment. I just got done installing a new headgasket on my 91 e300te wagon. The head was resurfaced and new valve seals where installed and I put back the old timing chain 188,000 miles due to the longevity of the chain. I was sitting in the vehicle and then all of a sudden the car shut off. Timing chain snapped. Tore the head off and noticed the ditributor cap new as well was cracked. So four of the valves are bent and I am not going to spend more money to have the valves replaced on a 188,000 mile motor. SO I AM SHOPPING FOR A NEW MOTOR. THIS S_CKS!!! I used the same tensioner and did not replace any of the guides. ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE HELPFULL>
