I have a number 10 camshaft on my '82 240D and two of the cam bearing mounts broke. My mechanic wants me to find out about the availibility of this cam and the mounts before he begins to look into why the mounts broke. Steve gave me a parts number for this cam as 616 051 10 01. If I order this part will it come with the towers? I asked the Mercedes dealer in my area and the guy at the parts counter didn't seem to know, nor did he have a parts number for the camshaft bearing mounts (towers). Also, if I order the cam from them, it will have to be shipped from Germany. Does anyone know of a number for these mounts? . Does anyone know of a source to get this cam and/or the bearing mounts new in the U.S.? I can get used ones but my mechanic doesn't wnat to use them. Any help with these parts and their numbers will be appreciated. Also, would it be unwise to use a different cam and mounts if they are easier to get? Which one(s) could be used?

The vin number of the car is WDBAB23A8CB343077

I know very little about this stuff (a little about old Fords but not much about Mercedes)
