You have put the chain backwards, the grease holes go towards the outside and you put them towards the inside.

I agree, this chain will stretch very quickly with the oil holes facing down

@ferenctulics9688 5 ай бұрын

Wow! I didn't even saw those little holes until you mention them. Thank you!

@TxRzrBk 5 ай бұрын

The febi replacement chains have the oil holes like the OEM chain however the INA chains do not have the holes

Did you replace any seals for the injectors? Do you have to bleed the injectors? Thanks great video

Thanks for the Video, I noticed you didn’t use the tools that hold the camshafts in place so they can rotate. Would you say these aren’t necessary? Thanks

Hello, how are you? One question, do you have to remove the chain tensioner with this tool or not?, I mean if the chain is secured by this tool.From your explanation I understood that the chain tensioner needs to be replaced. My question only concerns when you put in the new chain, whether or not you remove the chain tensioner while replacing the chain, thanks

How do you replace a broken camshaft sprocket on 08 Sprinter?

@Stmarkko 11 ай бұрын

How are you able to rotate cam without valve coming into contact with piston? Great video, om642's are best small v6 diesels. 290000 miles and 9' of TDC. 11' is max.

We did not do anything to the timing itself. We just disconnected old chain, connected new one and rolled it through.

I have engine messed up in my Mercedes sprinter please give me advice do I need to buy another engine or I can rebuild the original one thank you for your help

@sprintermotors 10 ай бұрын

Sure! If any of your main bearings are toasted or any damage present on cylinder walls - your engine will be done. If there are no damage on those spots - it is rebuildable.

Hello Friend. I have a ml 320 cdi 2007 year. Sometimes in the morning when I start the car for the first time, it makes a noise for exactly 1 second. Something rattles and stops after a second. My car has a mileage of 280,000 km. I don't know if this timing chain has ever been changed or not. I know that the air conditioner compressor bearing or magnets are damaged and this is also making noise. This noise can be heard from the compressor of the air conditioner. I hope the timing chain doesn't need to be replaced.

Why did you remove all of the cam hold downs? In this configuration I would think the cams would be lifted by the opposing force of the valve springs.

@sprintermotors 6 ай бұрын

Cam holders are not necessary to do the timing chain.

@user-ho7sy6xn6d 11 ай бұрын

cant you turn the tool around and push the pin out to the rear instead of fighting with the sprocket?

You can't do it that way.

Bonjour merci pour la vidéo 👏pouvez-vous me dire il faut compter combien de temps pour remplacer la chaîne de distribution sur une e350 cdi de l’année 2010 mois d’août ?cordilement

Bonjour! Il faut environ 6 à 8 heures pour faire le travail complètement. Sur ML c'est un peu plus facile que sur un Sprinter

the old chain does not look that bad, can i just change only the tensioner?

@sprintermotors 8 ай бұрын

You have to replace chain. Because problem is in the chain not in the tensioner.

@yurimig253 Жыл бұрын

So why not use a regular 🗜️ vice to pressure the chain pin. Usea metal slug or a very small size 4 mm socket to compress the chain.

@sprintermotors Жыл бұрын

Why? If that tool cost like 45$ cam be easily modified. And used once for most people.

@TiagoNevesNET 8 ай бұрын

Not too sure about beating on the cam sprocket with hammers, fairly sure that's NOT in the mercedes shop manual! You can just vice those pins, seems to me you did more harm than good here.

It just seems to you. Did over 100 chain replacements - no problems whatsoever.

Do not do this!!! I tried to do this but the pin and bolt fell from the tool into the crank case and i had to remove and disassemble my engine to get it out

@sprintermotors 6 ай бұрын

No offense, but it's totally your problem. You could've put some napkins and prevent that. Even if it felt down, you can simply remove the oil pan, and no need to disassemble the entire engine.
