Mercedes Benz repair: 89 Mercedes benz 300E faulty valve, mercedes benz 300e, faulty valve
QuestionMy mercedes runs, but the 6th spark plug in the engine is covered in burnt oil depsits. I change the spark plug and in a week, it is just the same. I took it to a MB repair shop and they told me that the valve guides were bad and they needed to be replaced. Can you tell me how this is done?
AnswerThis is not a DIY job, the procedure requires special skill/knowledge + special tools.
If the guides are worn out the odds = 98% that the seats/valves are not seating correctly.
I suggest removing the head, and have it serviced correctly at a machine shop.
