HI MY NAME IS ED AND IM NEW TO THIS SITE. CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP? I HAVE A 92 300SE WITH VIN wdbga32e3pa096733AND MY HEAD GASKET WENT BAD, THE SHOP WANTED 3500 TO DO THE JOB. I THEN BROKE IT DOWN MY SELF AFTER GETTING THAT QUOTE. I NOW GOT EVRYTHING READY TO GO BACK TOGEATHER. BUT I NEED TO KNOW WERE CAN I GET THE TORQE SPECS ANDSEQUENCE , FIRING ORDER, HOW TO SET THE TIMING, ANY INFO WOULD HELP THANKS ED... EDC0830@COMCAST.NET

 

I suggest www.alldata.com and sign up for the DIY service. This is a x100 +++value add web site service witha very low price. You can then get this info you need and then some, + have reoaie info at the ready for your next project.

 

USUALLY WHEN YOU DO A HEAD GASKET YOU MARK WITH WHITE OUT, THE CAM SPROKET AND CHAIN. INSERT A V SHAPED BLOCK DOWN IN BETWEEN THE CHAINS,THIS WILL KEEP THE CHAIN TIGHT SO IT WONT SLIP OFF THE GEARS. THAT WILL KEEP YOUR TIMING SET FOR YOU, THEN PUT THE HEAD BACK ON AND LINE UP THE CHAIN WITH THE MARKS ON THE SPROCKET. IF THE CHAIN TENSIONER WAS FULLY EXTENDED OUT THEN IT HAS TO BE REMOVED AND REINSTALLED AGAIN.
