Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 2007560SEL timing chain
Hi, my 118k 91 560SEL is in need of the new chain. Any good info out there? And whats the fav vendor of the group to buy from? Years ago I help change a 380sl to a double row unit. A clip was used to hold the chain together, no it requires a tool. I will look for a rental at NAPA or so. Bought this car on ebay and found it will be a bit of a project. Thanks for any info! Rob autohausaz.com That is the place I now buy alot of parts from. Tool rental for the factory one is at http://www.performanceproducts.com/ Can the 102.981 engine from a 190 E be changed to a double row chain? > Hi, > my 118k 91 560SEL is in need of the new chain.

Just change them as a regular maintenance and it will last. Actually, I am replacing the engine due to a thrown rod. Never thought of using a newer engine. The 230 CE is a w123 with a 102.980 engine. What engine would you recommend?

Unless someone converted it already... then if this is so, then you can put anything you want in there...102.985 engine as in 85 to 93 2.3L engine. I got the number on the block. The following websites say the same thing. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/6633/w123models.html http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=7381&Mercedes-Benz > Are you sure you got a 102.980 engine? 230CE in W123 chassis uses 115.xxx > engine... not a 102.

I'd go for the later model instead... unless you want to try to put in a 2.3 16 valves engine for more performance. Is this the Cosworth engine? > Then by all mean use any of the 2.3 engine.

Not easy to come by... and probably not cheap either... unless you are really lucky to find a dismantler who simply don't care about price. > Are you sure you got a 102.980 engine? 230CE in W123 chassis uses 115.xxx > engine... not a 102.
