I’m thinking of buying a 190e with this issue. Seems like I'll be able to fix it on my own for cheap. Is it like this with all 190e engines tho?

anyone know how to disassemble the hydraulic lifter please?

This is m103 ?

What are the torque specs on the bolts

I have a similar issue on my W124 230E. Occasional hard starting, misfire and noisy lifter when starting from cold (losing oil when valve is compressed). I thought of replacing only the one, then again, they've all done the same mileage and at less than USD70 for a full set I thought I'd replace them all.

i replace all hydroulics but is doing again tik but not like before can anyone help me;
