R107

A while back I purchased a 560sl to join my mercedes fleet. I thought it was a good deal, but it has white smoke upon start up. I am currently doing the repair/replace analysis I began thinking that while I was at it, it would be nice to get a little more horse power out of it. In researching the internet, I found that the sl 560 was de-tuned for the US market, that the SEL/SEC has more horsepower. Also when investigating, it appears that used sel/sec engines are less expensive than the sl motors.

n/a After installing the new oil tube fittings, I started to remove the cam gear so that I could change the chain guide. After I had the gear about half way off, the chain was so tight that I stopped, fearing that I would not be able to reinstall it. Is there a trick to loosen the chain. I have been going by Kent's manual.
