- '89 W124 200T
Hi there,
I finally got the head for my 1988 W124 200T back, with new valves seated. I reassembled the engine, with all the approppriate new gaskets etc. The one bit I was unsure of though was the Timing Chain Tensioner. When I reassembled it, the spring seemed to push the plunger into the Tensioner body quite far.
I haven't driven the car since, but have started it - there was a whine - a bit like a power steering pump whine - that wasn't there before. Is this just because it takes a while for things to bed in? Or do I need to do some disassembly?
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
