With my 6.9 approaching 300km and concern about running hot in the summer I was thinking of doing a top end overhaul and replacing the timing chain guides At the same time.
Who would be the best work shop to do this job?
I have rodded the radiator replaced the water pump ,thermostat ,temp sender , flushed the block, replaced the thermo fan, but in the summer it still runs up around 100c.
My 450sl used to have similar issues but worn valve guides meant I had the cylinder heads reconditioned and it now runs cool in summer and no smoke.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards Mark.

Does the temp drop when you’re on the highway?? Might be the engine fan clutch
