We have both worked for years with and lately for Hibbo. The last five or so years he has only done pro-bono assists since retirement.
Perhaps this site was a mistake as we were told by many local Techs, Hibbo disagreed and signed on anyway using another BW members computer, due to spending so much time on his boat and the cost of his SAT link. Hibbo asked us to try and help in his stead, We also Technician from Germany and Robert ihas been in States longest and has worked as Technician in local Benz Dealership before retirement...his career was Benz and lot of school since, now has some kind of Physics consultant and enjoys repairing electronics for us and helping with areas we get stuck on. We are firm believers in working together and helping everyone we can.

To answer the timing chain and now engine will not turn over. How did the mechanic adjust your engines timing and the Timing chain? Is it still zero'd at 45 deg before TDC and all four cams at their pin mark with both intake cams retarded? Will the engine manually turn with the tensioner loose, not removed (manually turn by hand at crank slowly only, to avoid chain jumping) Always remove the plugs to remove compression, etc?

Dietrich and Robert (two seperate Benz Technicians filling in for Dutch)

In the short time that I have been a member of this forum, it's clear to me that Brett is a very detailed, observant and conscientious BenzWorld member. I think his comment about "split personality" is only a reflection of his observation that your signature had changed.

I apologize if I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong, but I would hate for this forum to loose a valued resource.

I 2nd that. Brett has been a great help to many members

Finally,...who cares if i have 2 people or even five at the end of my sig. Thats why we have SCREEN names

Just chill and watch that nice "starmark" on your hood as you stroll down your favorite street and enjoy.
