In this video I finally got around to the valve adjustment on our 300SD.
I made a gnarly looking wrench for the job instead of buying one. We also
did a fair amount of cleaning on the valve cover and control rod assembly.
Comically the popping noise you here in the higher speed video segments
was my wife playing basketball outside. ha ha...
Errata:
In the video I incorrectly state that the valve cover nut torque is 10nm. It is 15 nm according to the factory service manual.
