I duscuss the faulty assembly that resulted in the near destruction of this engine. While the proper treatment of the timing tensioner isn’t listed with Merc…

i thought after 1986 the 190e 2.3-16 had a double timing chain. I better
get my 190e cosworth checked out then.
im 17 and i really wish i knew what the **** you were doing
I own a 1989 Mercedes 300E 3.0L I6 with 258k miles daily driver not a rare
model I know but deserves all the mechanical care I possess ◕‿◕
can you show me a video for the cam timing for 190e 1991 2.3 i have alldata
i have the cam lined with the head on the right side but i thinking it was
suppose to be alittle above the head?
i love your video go on like this:) a got olso a 2,3-16v 85 185hp
One of the most interesting discoveries I made was that there are EFI
systems available out there. Don’t know it the Cos head would fit. My guess
is that you would pay dearly for one and there are allot of more cost
effective options for you out there.
no, only the 2.5-16v have the duplex chain. all the the 2.3 have a simplex
chain, that you have to replace every 180k km’s and every 90k km’s you have
to replace the timing tensioner …
i just love these engines. and i would really like to see you pull the
engine completely apart and do the piston rings, crank bearings etc. great
explanations!
you are a real pro! i have an ’84 audi ur quattro coupe that i will be
rebuilding. i hope to see more of your videos soon, rob
realy great! love the project, I also have a 2.3 190 myselft though its
just an 8 valve. I would also like to increase the power of it, so im
wondering if maybe a 16 valve top would fit? or might as well turbo charge
it. Its realy great you told about that tensioner, I dont think i would
have thought of that when taking the block appart 🙂
mercedes 190 e cosworth ( evo )
hope you got more videos.. I got my project started last labor day.. doing
the measurements now.. not as bad as that but missing a side chain rail and
the lower one is all broken..gots scratch cyl.. will need to do some
measurements to see if I can get away with just honing..
I don’t recommend timing chain replacement unless you are beginning to get
some ratteling at start up or after an oil service. To do it correctly the
cylinder head must come off. If it does rattle after an oil service,
pre-lube the tensioner by removing the coil wire to pump up the tensioner
before start up. Then, don’t forget to reload or replace the tensioner
properly.
More Mercedes Benz engine rebuild clips on the way sorry for the delay,
shop’s been busy.
You might check out a tech school in your area. We have Bellingham Tech
where my good friend Dan Beeson heads up the Automotive Dept.
Off with it’s head!! Hahaha. Another GREAT post Bob! Thanks, it made my day
even sweeter. -Todd
I was always told use the tortque wrench and follow the manafacture
instructions with regards to securing head,as you did following corner down
to corner down to the first level,followed again as you did the secound
pull down.
