Broken Valve Spring ('91 300E)
Well I pulled into work yesterday (after a 40 mile drive) and the car lost power. Poped the hood and hear what sounded like a really bad lifter.
Got the car home, pulled the plugs and did a compression test. Everything was 170psi except #4 which was 0psi. Pull the valve cover and found that the exhaust spring broken. Why? Stuck hydrolic lifter?
Anyone have a good procedure on how to change the spring?
I'll probably change the spring, the cup, and the hydralic lifter.
Anything else I should change.
Anyone recommend a valve spring compressor that works on the M103 engine?
Thanks.
