The early idler gears teeth wear out. As there is no balance shaft on the m273 and it is literally a timing chain idler gear. Why can't this simply be done in situ? Remove the cam covers, remove the the timing chain case cover, undo the tensioner, would this not leave enough room to be able to...

Cylinder misfire on M120 engine (SL70) Hi all, There was some misfiring detected in 2 or 3 of the cylinders in my car. According to the dealer, it would require about 32 manhours to remove cylinder heads to check (so some £5,000). Other option is to run some miles on it to see if...
