@@petescarport will do👍🏼 just ordered oil cam tubes, will do the same what you did, even the same side, I was just looking at the valve cover gasket as well, but don’t know exactly how they call it - left side or the right side? That’s the side that you did🤷🏼♂️
Go ahead and order the timing chain guides when you order the rest of the aluminum oil tubes I sent you the part#s on last video, you will need to replace it because you need to remove it for first oil tube.
Good job! Mine kept ticking for almost 5mins. after replacing my tube. Had a holy Christ moment until it finally cleared up. Check eBay, there were a few cats there selling used metal sets, not too long ago... I regret not picking up a set.
Yo Manny thanks again. I had been looking on ebay and just wasn't ready to drop $200-300 at the time. Have too many projects right now but wanted to get the w140 back on road asap.
Hey Pete I’ve been holding off on this project on my 94 s600. It’s a little more rare as you know but are the “oilers” and maybe other components the same? I’m just doing my best to not be the “cat” stuck up the tree- thanks in advance
nice to meet you. I also have a W140 S500 of the same year. There is a clicking sound from the engine. Your video was very helpful. Could this issue cause white exhaust?
Thank you once again. I would have done them but plan to change out the tubes at same time and wanted to start driving car. I think I will order them on fcpeuro since they are factory ones and they offer lifetime warranty.
What if I’ve beend driving it for 1 k miles with this tapping noise? Did it caus edamage or it is ok? Planing to fix this week. The taping is the same as it was at the beginning, didn’t get any worse
Should be fine. I’ve seen people go 20k miles with a loud tap and than change out the tubes and be ok. Don’t recommend going anymore but you should be totally fine
Hey Pet, I have w140 s500 98, and it reach to 250k miles, it have the taping noise and my mechanic said it began to burn oil, do I change the engine or do I fix it? (Is it worth it to fix an 250k engine)? Thanks
I went to go look at a white 95 s500 very clean and well kept . I noticed the tick right away . I backed off but after seeing your video it’s not too bad . he’s asking 2800 very negotiable. Do you think it would be a good deal ? It has 204k miles . Also after leaving it idle for a few minutes it kids sounded like turned off or some what stalled is that normal. It happens quick .
So 204k is a lot for any car but a well maintained s500 can go for a very long time. If the ticking noise goes away that is normal but doesn’t mean the issue isn’t there. Mine would come and go and I think that’s due to oil covering the area that’s making noise. The main things I would look at are suspension. Rear shocks are hydraulic unless changed out. New hydraulic shocks are very expensive. I would take it down some bumpy roads and then on the highway. I would also try and get it for closer to $2k if you feel comfortable with the car. Also how is condition of interior and do the soft close doors work and locks work?
@@MsXfusion check engine is usually fine. Mine has it for o2 sensor. At that age a lot of emissions stuff goes bad or needs cleaned like egr. If it has any other light be cautious. Could be a major repair or a simple broken wire.
Let's do it. I won't change much but would need you to get parts and I can do it pretty quick depending on how many need to be done or if you want to do them all plus timing guides
The repair manual indicates 10 - 12NM. I did 10NM, hand no problems what so ever. Grate content!
Thank you so much for the fill in. I'm sure I'm close with what I did and happy with results.
Thank you for being on UA-cam💯

@@lawrenceK90s so that can be confusing. It’s based on when your sitting in car so drivers side is left side. Hope this helps.
@@petescarport thank you👍🏼I work on semi trucks, we use only driver or passanger side😁
You helped me a lot with my w140 1997 s500💯✅

How to replace timing chain tension on this car
Any idea where to get the fuel injector “cups” or
“Inserts”. The part the injector actually goes in to ?
Is it usual for the internals to be orange?
What if I’ve beend driving it for 1 k miles with this tapping noise? Did it caus edamage or it is ok? Planing to fix this week. The taping is the same as it was at the beginning, didn’t get any worse
Should be fine. I’ve seen people go 20k miles with a loud tap and than change out the tubes and be ok. Don’t recommend going anymore but you should be totally fine
Did you notice the oil pressure before and after changing the oilers?
Unfortunately my sending unit went bad right before this. So I need to change that and make sure
Hey Pet, I have w140 s500 98, and it reach to 250k miles, it have the taping noise and my mechanic said it began to burn oil, do I change the engine or do I fix it? (Is it worth it to fix an 250k engine)?
Thanks
Yes fix it. Very cheap and you can easily get 300k or more miles
@@petescarport thanks sir
Absolutely. Please let me know if you need any help. Let's keep these cars going.
How many hrs does it take to do one side ?
Shouldn’t take more than 3hrs taking your time. I’m sure a shop could do it in 1hr
I went to go look at a white 95 s500 very clean and well kept . I noticed the tick right away . I backed off but after seeing your video it’s not too bad .
he’s asking 2800 very negotiable. Do you think it would be a good deal ? It has 204k miles .
Also after leaving it idle for a few minutes it kids sounded like turned off or some what stalled is that normal. It happens quick .
So 204k is a lot for any car but a well maintained s500 can go for a very long time. If the ticking noise goes away that is normal but doesn’t mean the issue isn’t there. Mine would come and go and I think that’s due to oil covering the area that’s making noise.
The main things I would look at are suspension. Rear shocks are hydraulic unless changed out. New hydraulic shocks are very expensive. I would take it down some bumpy roads and then on the highway. I would also try and get it for closer to $2k if you feel comfortable with the car.
Also how is condition of interior and do the soft close doors work and locks work?
@@petescarport interior was 9/10 small rip on the drivers seat . Little stains on the floor .all the wood trim was perfect no cracks
It did have a check engine light on
I feel I definitely Could have bought it for 2k
@@MsXfusion check engine is usually fine. Mine has it for o2 sensor. At that age a lot of emissions stuff goes bad or needs cleaned like egr. If it has any other light be cautious. Could be a major repair or a simple broken wire.
How many total oiler tubes does the engine have if I replace al of them?
Pete’s carport
The s500 has 16. They sell them as a set as well
How to know which side the noise coming from
You can listen and should be able to hear it clearly. But most people just change out all the cam tubes on both sides to get rid of future issues
When can we do mines pete's please let me know how much
Where you at? Also do you have a tap now?
@@petescarport I'm in Orlando and yes
Let's do it. I won't change much but would need you to get parts and I can do it pretty quick depending on how many need to be done or if you want to do them all plus timing guides
@@petescarport ok great Pete thanks so much your channel is amazing I will contact you directly
How much for the 420sel
It's going to be on auction but I would sell it now for $3500
And now you have to wash the engine.... :-)
Oh yes. It's a mess.
