Hm , the 116 engine in MY car has Duplex timing chains...

As I've said before (tho' I seem to have forgotten to mention it this time) I'm a Mercedes Dieselhead , this W-107 bit is new to me , I really like this car a _lot_ , still trying to figger out what to do , I have this Euro spec. 350SLC 4 speed manual and I'd rather have a 6 cylinder one with automatic (I know , I know , I'm strange that way)

The good 380's I'm finding look like good projects to me , scrap yards here in So. Cal. are simply LOADED with smashed , low milage Merc's with 116 engines in them....

Plus lots of deal 380SL/SLC's with bad timing chains.....
