mercedes-benz — Mercedes-Benz of North America, Inc. Service Manual 1993

Notes It is possible that the piston ring gaps of individual pistons are directly above each other which falsifies the test result. In cases of doubt, allow vehicle to run and test cylinder leaktightness once again after some time. After spraying oil onto the piston crown, it is possible to determine whether the leak exists at the piston rings or at the valves or the cylinder head gasket. 01.0904 - 015/3
