In this short video, I demonstrate how I used the Go-No-Go gauge to accurately measure the Compensating Elements for proper valve clearance. This video is relevant to all #M116, #M117 Mercedes-Benz 8 cylinder gas, 3.8L, 4.2L, 5.0L, 5.6L engines.

I am documenting every part of this vehicle as I put it back together. The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet.
