Driver's side timing chain guides broke and then more
So I figured out what was wrong with my 1985 500SEL the other day unfortunately...I took off the driver's side head (excuse me i don't have a comma key) and there was calamity. It was ugly.
Every rocker was off its respective valve and hydraulic mount i can plainly see that 4 valve springs look "not straight" as far as me looking down on them they slant to the right i believe probably broken or bent valves. I'm hoping "bent" because something has to help my odds of complete damage. My question is this as i do not have a guide... I'm not sure if this is possible but do I have to take off the complete intake manifold before I can take the head off (i have no question mark key either...) the passenger side head is PERFRECT and the guide and tensioner are all fine. Just the driver side is hit I've found bits of plastic everywhere from the rails. Also another question on the head are there 8 of those 8mm hex bolts to get out holding the head or are there 10 or more (question mark) AND do I have to remove the exhaust manifold or can it come out with the head or do I have to remove it just for plain access to some head bolts (question mark) also what about the power steering pump Thanks I appreciate putting up with no question marks or commas. -james
