Tool help needed
I am posting this question here and also in a couple of other forums. I am in the process of replacing the head gasket on a M113.980 and I need to know what size the socket is for the CAM sprocket (E18 or E20) and I also need to know what size for the oil filter to the front cover bolt the one inside the oil filter housing is it a 40mm or what?
Also do you need to remove the CAM and rocker assembly from the head to remove it or can you get away with out doing it?
Thanks for your quick reply

I know I am replying to my own thread but I want to make sure if anyone else needed this information it is available.
The Oil filter housing is a 46mm and the cam sprocket is an E18.
Also it is cheaper to replace the head bolts then to have your mechanic measure the 10 of them unless they have a go no go fixture like the one I built for this task.
