Hello fellow mercedes enthusiasts,
Since ac compressor on my G400 had a catastrophic failiure and i had to tear down whole front end anyway, I decided to change engine timing chain and guides as well. Since i dont have factory manual, i wanted to be sure about the correct position of timing marks. Is it supposed to be so, that if camshaft marks are aligned(push-in pins could ho go through holes in camshaft gear on the left and right cylinder bank), the crankshaft marks should be at 0T position? And what about the balance shaft markings? Do the dot need to be at 12 a clock or 6 a clock position?
Alignement with the old chain was 15 degrees with cam markings aligned. But now, with new chain it is exactly 0t position. Is this correct?
