This video is a WRENCHFEST as we dive into the top end of Project Heidi. This video should have been titled "getting rid of ticky and squeaky". We walk through the entire process of replacing the driver and passenger side timing chain guides then go deeper into the valve train to remove every camshaft retainer and replace the original sixteen (16) oilers for this M119 V8. This is the same process for all 5.0L displacement M119 V8s as well as the younger sibling 4.2 L displacement version. If you have an SL500, S500, S420 or any other 1990s M119 this video is for you. Even more wrenching at the beginning of the video as we get rid of a tired serpentine belt and pulley with a bearing that can only be described as shot.

This is crazy. I’m about to take care of the guides and 1&5 today on my 97 s420. Not many people have these cars and I find them super easy to work on. Thank you for your videos. They are super professional and informative. Very much appreciated 🫡

Thank for watching the channel and I’m so grateful the timing worked out for your W140. Don’t forget to replace the timing chain guide gaskets as well when you do cylinder one and five.

Where did you buy the idler pulley? Link please! Thanks!

Thanks for watching the channel. I buy most all of my parts from FCPEuro dot com. No sponsorship or financial relationship with them, and their customer service is excellent. Lifetime warranty on everything they sell, even oil. Check them out and thanks again for watching.

do you have any experience with parktronic? looking to retrofit it and was wondering if you could guide me somewhere

@w140restorations 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching the channel. Unfortunately I do not have enough life experience with Parktronic systems to comment or guide you where to look. I’m a firm believer in the community of MB ownership and would suggest some well known forums to join and search for specifics. All my best and good luck with the retrofit.
