Technical Documentation: Mercedes

[Skidmark]

Anyone have access to technical documentation that could possibly screen print? Looking for information on changing lifters on 2005 C55 AMG.

Thanks

Sound slow !

Sound slow !

It most definitely is. Would you like to donate $15,900 so I can purchase the Renntech stage 2 package?

If you're feeling generous you could add $4,595 so I can purchase headers.

Damn, already working on the new whip?

Yup

They sell it to you fucked up, or was it the spirited driving?

Sounds reasonable, sure !

Paying $30 for a Haynes manual a bit too much for your Benzo rolling ass?

Oh it's easy, Alldata has everything you'd need! It actually only pays 4.8 hours so it can't be too bad.

1Remove cylinder head covers (6)2Position crankshaft to 0 degrees after ignition TDC of cylinder 1
NOTE: Engine must not be rotated backwards.


3Remove chain tensioner (5)4Take off camshaft bearing bridges (7 and 8)
NOTE: Installation: Inspect basic position of camshafts, if necessary.


5Use a 2 mm drift to press compensation element (11) of the relevant cylinder out of the roller rocker arms (9)
CAUTION: Do not use a magnet!

• The slide surface of the compensation element (11) would get magnetized. This can cause minute iron chips to accumulate, which in turn can damage the compensation element (11) and the cam.

NOTE: Installation: The disk in the roller-type rocker arm at the top must face downwards with slots towards the compensation element (11)! Compensation elements which have not been replaced, must be re-installed at the same point.


6Install in the reverse order.

It was fucked up, but it does not tick on cold starts, which is weird for lifters. It only ticks after the car is nice and hot.

During the test drive it wasn't really that long of a drive. It sounded fine idling and additionally, with the windows up you cannot hear it.

Sounds reasonable, sure !

Haha. The aftermarket on these cars are ridiculous. It's fast enough to pick on most cars on the road

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Haynes Repair Manual for 2001 through 2007 (excludes AMG models)

Our Price: $24.95

Truthfully though, I forgot to check until now, but it's a no go.

Thanks. Does Alldata have pictures? If so I might sign up for it just for that. I appreciate it, broski!

Extended warranty ftw. I bought mine, and in less than a month after buying it, it was ticking BAD. Shop replaced the follower on #7, and I drove a brand new car while it was being fixed.

After more reseach, I found that the ticking was usual.

I don't mind working on my stuff. Typically i'd save money not having the warranty, but I guess if something went out like the tranny, then it'd be a different story.

A lot of MB people are saying the ticking is pretty normal and a few others took videos of their cars and it did the same thing. It just bothers me, so i'll probably end up fixing it. The hard part is going to be trying to determine which lifters are making noise. 3 per cylinder FTL!

Yes, the torque sequence on the cam caps is the scariest looking thing about the entire process. A single car subscription is around $25 a year. The difference between them and a Haynes manual is that if their site is missing something that's in a factory manual they'll fax it to you.
