1989 Mercedes Benz 300se Repair Question
Camshaft removal & installation
This is for a 1989 mercedes 300SE
Does the camshaft of 1993 300E 4matic fit or can it be used in the 1989 300SE.
Asked by drproudAnswer
no the 93 cam wont' work because there are two different engine sizes and it has twin cams. Yours only has one. here are instructions for cam removal
I cannot read your instructions, even if I enlarge the picture I cannot read anything.

Thanks. Just to be sure what does "Set no 1 Piston at TDC" mean?
What does TDC mean?
that means that is shold be a TOP DEAD CENTER or the timing mark on the balancer should be at 0 and both intake and exasut valves closed.
Regarding the: the camshaft of 1993 300E 4matic fit or can it be used in the 1989 300SE
It looks like the numbers for both vehicles are the same:
The use of this camshaft in earlier engines requires (12) 103 050 10 33 rocker arms (1) 103 158 08 40 ignition rotor adapter and (1) 104 990 05 22 mounting bolt.;

When the camshaft flange is opposite the cast marking on the first bearing bracket does this mean the I have piston no. 1 in tdc position or there is another way?
no not neccessarily. If the harmonic balancer lines up with the timing mark, there should be a slot like on thebalancer. those marks on the balancer on the crankshaft is what i'm talking about and the mark on on the camshaft line up then you shold be at tdc, but make sure both inlet and exaust valves are closed and not open-valvsprings pushed down.
