My problem is NOT resolved after all.
Thought my "ALL metal" vibration damper will not break apart, but seems the stress/vibration is causing the tensioner shock bracket (item #33) to break at it's weakest points. I have already replaced the bracket two times already in a little less than two years.
From my research, it appears they have not only updated/redesigned the vibration damper to an all metal version in 1986, they have redesigned this bracket as well. It is now "L" shaped with a couple of stand offs behind, mounted to the timing cover with two M8x70 bolts.
I don't have access to the EPC, can some one help...190E 1986, 2.3.........
I need to find the part number for this new bracket, it's #32 in the diagram, I also need part numbers for the two stand offs as well.
See last pic, I believe that's what the "L" shape bracket & stand offs looks like, that pic is from a 1986, 2.3 190E.
