1997 MERCEDES-BENZ ML320 engine

Fig. 114: Identifying Feeler (102 589 01 23 00)
1. Clean bore of valve guide (1) (never use a hard object).
2. Inspect surface of bore for scores or signs of rubbi ng. If damage to the surface is present, the valve
guide must be replaced and the valve stem inspected for uneven areas. If the stem is damaged, the valve
must be replaced together with the valve guide.
Fig. 115: Identifying Valve Guide

3. If it is possible to inse rt the side of the hole gauge (3) marked with "+220" over its full length (5 mm)
into the valve guide, it is then necessary to repl ace the valve guide. Inspect bore of valve guide in
longitudinal and tran sverse direction.

Fig. 119: Identifying Basic Bore Diameter Of Valve Seat Ring In Cylinder Head - Shown On Exhaust
Side

The overlap of the valve seat ring in the cylinder head is determined as follows: outside diameter of the valve
seat ring (B) minus the basic bore diameter of th e valve seat ring in the cylinder head (E).
