Hi All . . .


I'm in need of some assistance and would appreciate if if someone could help me in verifying/adjusting the Valve Clearance on W115 Mercedes 220 Petrol engine please . . . I also don't own a Timing Light and was wondering if I could set the timing on this engine Statically using a 12V Test Light . . . and what the degrees before TDC should be . . .



While reading through a previous Forum Post made by @Topher39 ,

( http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/vintage-mercedes-forum/325521-timing-setting-help-please-1969-w115-220-gas-4-cylinder-2.html ) . . .

I noticed mentioning of checking the Torque on the Cylinder bolts before adjusting the Valve Clearance . . . No mention of the Torque Specs though . . . I would appreciate some guidance in this as well please.


Any and all advice in this regard would be Highly appreciated . . .

Thanks to any contribution towards this topic in advance . . .
