Great video! However, I wish you would show how to replace the bottom guides as those too break. While replacing the oil pump guide I found the lower guides to be worn and very close to breaking so I removed the front cover and digging in to that. I am completely restoring my 560SL (see my RUclips channel) and have already completed the suspension and now the engine. There are very few videos on the M117 and I appreciate yours. Thanks again.
Ed is a refined person of high moral and cultural values. Ed is not only a mechanic but a top engineer. I was irritated by the behavior of dealers in shows. It seemed as if an illiterate peasant and thief was mastering a nobleman.
hola soy de san juan argentina , verdad vengo mirando todos los programa , como me encantaría darle mi auto para que lo reparara.... gracias a tus trabajos , pude reparar el mio , gracias por tanta dedicación. sigue asi
Parts availability for this particular generation of SL is still great even to this day. The R107 SL ran from 71 - 89’ with over 300k total units produced, so you can still get parts. Some of the more esoteric fittings are starting to show signs of scarcity (higher prices) and can be tricky but all the major bits are still readily available.
It's a shame that such skill is not rewarded nowadays. Managers hire cheapest staff and professionals are disrespected. So everyone is running around just to find someone they can trust for whatever job... Dark times. But at least some true pros are always busy with orders...
Ed is a master mechanic and I recently found out that he was the mechanic for top gear. The top gear when the trio were the host’s
Perfect person Ed is clear, articulate, cultured and simple.
Ed makes it look soo easy
Makes it look so easy - pleasure to watch
Ed makes it easy, he knows what he is doing, has the special tools and that beautiful lift. 👨🏽🔧
Thanks for sharing, man you got awesome work, love for USA ☮️

Ed China made the show and it went downhill when he left, super mechanic.
Ed's channel 500k more subscriptions than brewer GUTTED

I owe you an apology Ed. I was very critical of you, because I thought you were not replacing the chain with the guides. Good job old man😊

id let this man fix my car for free
Wheeler Dealers / TopGear - great shows, but when you let the stars go that made the show, they turn out to be terribly annoying
Translation: Edd was who people watched, Brewer is a chancer who is now on an awful show.
those mercedes double timing chains rarely stretch, let alone break
