RE: [diesel_mercedes] Where is TDC?

 

Figured it out I think and have moved forward.  Removed the rockers and started on the cam.  Removed the tensioner screw/spring from the block and the bolt that holds the plastic guide in.  How in the world do you release the pin that the plastic tensioner rides on?  It isn’t a bolt (or if it is, the DPO may have sheared it off.  HBOL and the FSM are not helpful so far. 

 

Tricks to share with a beancounter?

In the middle of the head swap on the 116s and am sort of at a stopping point, fearful of the unknown. At the point where I need to remove the cam, etc. and have to set this mother at TDC. According to Haynes book of lies, if I line up the notch on the outside washer: http://www.48307.org/1979300SD/002.jpg

with the notch at the backside: http://www.48307.org/1979300SD/004.jpg

I am at TDC. Then again this is HBOL and I am a green bean. Thoughts men?
