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!

Can the 102.981 engine from a 190 E be changed to a double row chain?

It is probably cheaper to put newer used engine into the car than to try
conversion if there is any. 4 Cylinders don't have as much torque as the V8
so no need for double. Just change them as a regular maintenance and it will
last. >> Stay informed about: 560SEL timing chain |

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?
Thanks

Are you sure you got a 102.980 engine? 230CE in W123 chassis uses 115.xxx
engine... not a 102. 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. >> Stay informed about: 560SEL timing chain |

Yep, that was the Cosworth 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. >> Stay informed about: 560SEL timing chain |

102.980 is the correct engine for a 230ce / 123
the 230c carburettor engine uses the 115.9xx >> Stay informed about: 560SEL timing chain |

My friend purchase a http://www.mbpartswarehouse.com/mercedes_timingchain.html (Mercedes timing chain) in our town, I forgot though what was the name of the shop... Doesn't have a good background in 560SEL too.. So, I cant help much about the info about the chain...
