Great video

You have put the chain backwards, the grease holes go towards the outside and you put them towards the inside.

I agree, this chain will stretch very quickly with the oil holes facing down

The febi replacement chains have the oil holes like the OEM chain however the INA chains do not have the holes

Did you replace any seals for the injectors? Do you have to bleed the injectors? Thanks great video

Thanks for the Video, I noticed you didn’t use the tools that hold the camshafts in place so they can rotate. Would you say these aren’t necessary? Thanks

Hello, how are you? One question, do you have to remove the chain tensioner with this tool or not?, I mean if the chain is secured by this tool.From your explanation I understood that the chain tensioner needs to be replaced. My question only concerns when you put in the new chain, whether or not you remove the chain tensioner while replacing the chain, thanks

How do you replace a broken camshaft sprocket on 08 Sprinter?

Hello Friend. I have a ml 320 cdi 2007 year. Sometimes in the morning when I start the car for the first time, it makes a noise for exactly 1 second. Something rattles and stops after a second. My car has a mileage of 280,000 km. I don't know if this timing chain has ever been changed or not. I know that the air conditioner compressor bearing or magnets are damaged and this is also making noise. This noise can be heard from the compressor of the air conditioner. I hope the timing chain doesn't need to be replaced.

How are you able to rotate cam without valve coming into contact with piston? Great video, om642's are best small v6 diesels. 290000 miles and 9' of TDC. 11' is max.

We did not do anything to the timing itself. We just disconnected old chain, connected new one and rolled it through.

Thank you for this informative video. I wonder what state do live? I need your expertise :)

Sure! If any of your main bearings are toasted or any damage present on cylinder walls - your engine will be done. If there are no damage on those spots - it is rebuildable.

Anyone around NY 3 state are that know how to and can do this?

cant you turn the tool around and push the pin out to the rear instead of fighting with the sprocket?

You can't do it that way.

Why did you remove all of the cam hold downs? In this configuration I would think the cams would be lifted by the opposing force of the valve springs.

Cam holders are not necessary to do the timing chain.

Bonjour merci pour la vidéo 👏pouvez-vous me dire il faut compter combien de temps pour remplacer la chaîne de distribution sur une e350 cdi de l’année 2010 mois d’août ?cordilement

the old chain does not look that bad, can i just change only the tensioner?

@sprintermotors

You have to replace chain. Because problem is in the chain not in the tensioner.

So why not use a regular 🗜️ vice to pressure the chain pin. Usea metal slug or a very small size 4 mm socket to compress the chain.

Why? If that tool cost like 45$ cam be easily modified. And used once for most people.

Should you replace slides ? I have heard that MB slides are not destructable

Not too sure about beating on the cam sprocket with hammers, fairly sure that's NOT in the mercedes shop manual! You can just vice those pins, seems to me you did more harm than good here.

Do not do this!!! I tried to do this but the pin and bolt fell from the tool into the crank case and i had to remove and disassemble my engine to get it out

No offense, but it's totally your problem. You could've put some napkins and prevent that. Even if it felt down, you can simply remove the oil pan, and no need to disassemble the entire engine.
