Thank You Stevebfl,

This is the exact reason I stop here at MercedesShop every day! Knowledge!

Would you mind listing a the numbers for a 96' C280, I am not even sure if there is chain or belt?

Also, if I am understanding you correctly, you need to two dial indicator's to do the job right(valve/crank), are these Mercedes specific and are they a big expense (within DIY'er means)?

One infinal question, is this procedure/tools/spec's covered on the MB CD available?

Thanks,
