Good stuff, I did not know what OM stands for.

Anyways I am having the ball joints replaced by a MB tech this weekend, I will ask him about the timing chain stretch. Would anyone suggest how one would go about measuring the strech of the chain? Would the valve cover have to come off? When I open the oil cap, I can see a part of the chain, it really looks clean however is that enough room to measure the strech?
