Hello all !
I am trying to adjust the valves on an 84 200es and have run into a problem. So far I have pulled the spark plug /valve covers/timing cover plug. I have been trying to locate the "T" mark on the rotor however the rotor has wear on the edges and I cannot see/find the "T" mark after trying for over an hour pulling the starter cord slowly and using a high powered light to see it. It looks like the wear on the edge of the rotor has worn the "T" mark off . I have looked in the manual to see if I can find any hints/help on locating another way to get the "T" to come up so that I can adjust valves with no luck.
Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?
ANY suggestions/advice would be GREATLY appreciated !!!
Thank you !!!!
Randy

use a flash light and remove the small quater sized alum cap, thats how you find the markings. or you can just watch the valve compress and let up and measure the gap between them.
