I took on the task of changing the headgasket over this long holiday weekend on my '94 C280. During disassembly the timing chain seemed to have some play. Now during re-assembly, the chain seems to be tight. I have cranked the motor and the chain turns. Now that I am placing the timing cover back on, the top chain guide will not fit back in. I have taken the chain tensioner out an the chain does not loosen up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
