This is how I did things. If you see a problem let me and the world know by leaving a comment. This video begins right after I pulled the engine from my 1987 560SL in late November 2021 (see my other videos). Here are the main topics (and direct links) to the content I will be covering in this video: Chapter Links: 00:00 Introduction 05:38 Removing The Rear TDC Sensor 11:36 Removing The Smog Pump 18:33 Removing The Oil Pan 47:47 Cleaning The Block & Oil Pan Surfaces 52:43 Removing The Rear Cover Plate The order of events are exactly as they happened and not as you might attempt to disassemble a 560SL engine. When I started this video I was under the impression I would be replacing the rear cover plate and the oil pan gasket.
