| Replacing valve lifters in a 300E-24V
Is this an easy task?
Any things to watch out for?

| Not a job that is for the faint of heart. Why do you suspect lifter problems?
Good Luck,

| Hi Jayare,
It's just I have a couple of noisy ones first start in the morning. Noise lasts about 2 or 3 seconds. | |

| What weight oil are you using? If my coupe sits for a few days, I'll hear a tic or two upon start up. Not alarming to me at all.

I say that, after 200K miles a bit of clatter is OK - I plan to leave it until something warrants a new motor and a trip to specialist or Stuttgart.
Don't worry is my view.
Good luck.
