this is crazy
i've asked all the indy mercedes shops and mercedes dealerships. They will not admit that the timing tensioner and timing chain fail and cause the intake valves to bend. my moms friend who works on cars said yea of course those are known to fail. this is crazy. the mechanic knows about mbworld and goes on it. but yet will not admit the problem. the guy even dissed everyone on the forums saying they dont no ****.
lol they think their gunna get me for 4k.

And my case and point.
Good luck with your car.. worse case if they want you to spend 4k.. I'd say drop in a M113 V8 in its place but unfortunately your trans wont connect to it.
