[W126 Coupe] Timing Chain?

[Camran Nassiri]

Hi Peter, my 560 is white and palamino interior.  My 420SEL is black and it's nice to have the fun of driving either black or white Mercedes!!Thanks,Camran

Thank you!!  My mechanic will be here Wed. to do the job.  I did the injectors last year, however, I am having the valve guide seals replaced at this time.  What color is your 90?  I owned a  black 90 a few years back.  It only had about 40k on it at the time.   Thanks again, Peter Weiss

Peter- I have a 90 560SEC with 55K miles on it and, for the same reasons you said, I decided to change my timing chain.  The mechanic said itwas a good thing I did that since the chain was loose and the plastic rails were beginning to fall apart.  At the same time I had my injectors replaced.  The whole thing cost about $2,000 (not at a dealer).Thanks,Camran90 560SEC, 91 420SEL, 80 240D

I have a 1991 560 SEC.  It has 48K miles.  Perfect mechanical condition, books and records since new.  All original.  (Paint 7 Interior 9.5)   I have heard rumblings that despite the mileage,  replacing the timing chain on cars of this age is advisable.  Thought somebody out there might have some similar experience.  Thank you, Peter   pdweiss62 at aol.com
