gents,
Just taken the covers off of my m117 engine in my 500 sec and confirmed that I have 50.1 AMG cams and a solid lifter conversion which is good news.
My question is this...
I have read up on how to adjust the solid lifters and read about the torque values that the adjusting nut will be under but... what gives it this torque as I can’t see any mention of a locking nut?
I’m used to setting tappets on older classics with a lock nut. Am I overthinking the process?
I’m also aware that there’s is a special tool for the job and some people use a crows foot spanner etc.
Finally, laser tools list a valve adjustment socket that looks correct but is only listed for m100 engine and a few others but not for m117, will it do the job?
Part number is 6274....
James.
