Hey all, so I bought a 84 200es in very good shape, everything is still on it but it dont run. Story is it ran absolutely perfect untill he was riding it and the engine made a PACK and shut off instant.
So first thing, I put the engine on TDC to cheque the timing, timing seemed like it had jumped one teeth, timing chain was very very loose. I loosened the 14mm bolt for the timing chain tentioner and it instantly put a good tension on the timing chain so I tighted it back and then I adjusted the timing back.
Now back together, motor in the frame.. it has no spark, compression and all seems fine though. Dont know what to do next. What would you all suggest?
The timing seems a little off still though not sur if the notxh on the timing gear is suppose to line up perfect with the notch on the valve cover? Heres a picture of it.. whats your opinions?
Also if the timing would jump one teeth is it enough that the valve would hit the cylinder?
Thanks in advance!! Cheers
