G'day All,
I have a 1990 300e 24 valve model Benz.
Just had the vale guide seals replaced and the mechanic hit a snag.
He tells me that the thread on a pulley in the timing gear is stripped.
It is a left hand thread.
To repair this he has to get a M10 X 1.5 Recoil kit, which has an over size tap to put in the recoil, which then has the same diameter as the stripped thread.
A different company provides the tap to the recoil company and is messing them around.
I can buy a tap elsewhere but I don't know what size the tap needs to be for the recoil to fit in ???
Any ideas ????
