I want to give a huge shout out to HMC Mercedes and specifically Henry Coelho! I was looking for an original camshaft/valve cover gasket for a 280SL, and Henry had it. I ordered the part online and thought that would be it. When the part arrived, I received an email from Henry giving tips on how to prepare the rubber gasket prior to installation. Mind you this was a $22 part! I was taken back by the personal touch
That wasn’t the end of it. Turns out that there was a serious oil leak coming from the gasket after installation. Upon further inspection, I determined one of the 3 “towers” that support the valve cover was fractured (as a result of over tightening the 3 bolts that attach the cover to the towers). I really didn’t know where to look for these “towers”.
Because Henry reached out earlier, I emailed him and asked if he had the part. HMC did not, but he gave me a lead to check out and the rest is history. I have the part installed and the valve cover is not leaking.
Thank you, Henry!
