Hello,
My buddy has a 300SL with the M103 engine. Front seal is leaking and it burns oil. We're gonna take the head off for a valve job. Need some expert advise:
1. He thinks he wants to skim/shave off the cylinder head while it's off to get some extra compression. He's thinking 1-1.5 mm. What do you guys think?
2. His lifters are a little noisy at higher rpms. Do we need to replace the lifters?
3. Also, he wants to do some port and polish job at the same time. Any advise?
4. After he's done with his, it'll be my 300CE. Seems like these M103s definitely need a head job after 150,000km.
Appreciatively,
