[diesel_mercedes] Re: New timing chain?

 

_CHECK_ it for stretch ~ my '84 300CD has 360,000 miles and _zero_ timing chain stretch .

A used oil cooler is fine , soak it in gasoline for a few days to loosen the old crud then flush it well before use .

Another is saying that he's never seen one of these go in a Mercedes diesel so there is nothing to worry about. Who should I listen to? Also it needs an Oil Cooler should I get a new one or is a good salvage yard part ok?
