interference engine
Can someone tell me if an '87 300SDL has an interference engine. ie... If the timing chain breaks, does it damage the valves?
|
most certainly an 'interference' engine.
|
Im pretty sure
All diesels are interference engines.
|
I haven't heard of a Mercedes engine that is not. The gasser M116, M117, M119, M102, M103, M104, M111, M112 and M113's are all. I think all the 603 and 606 diesels are too.
|
If the chain breaks on a 603 it'll damage more than the valves. I've seen plenty 603's with broken camshafts, cracked pistons and even bent connecting rods as a result of failed chains. When in doubt, throw it out.
