Valve clearance & head torque service interval...

---every 15k miles


Hi Matthew,

inlet valves 0.10 mm, exhaust valves 0.25 mm, clearance values with cold engine.


When you have the cylinder head bolts accessible you can certainly loosen and re-torque them one at a time. I have done this once, not knowing the full history of my engine. This should however not be considered a service interval job.

126.039.1A 1988 Dunkelblau (M117 so a bit slower)

+ A few other MBs used for daily transport

Hello folks, Can anyone provide the valve clearance and cylinder head service intervals?

TIA, Matt
