This Video: 560SL M117 Engine Teardown Part 2 of 4. You can donate directly to me at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TonyLive if you would like to help.
Just so you know. I have never pulled an engine before and I have never rebuilt one either. The videos below are how an inexperienced old guy dismantled a 560SL engine.
Here are all links to the Engine Teardown:

This video is very detailed and is intended for the absolute beginner (ME). This is how I did things. If you see a problem let me and the world know by leaving a comment.
This video picks up where I left off in the 560SL M117 Engine Teardown Part 1 video. Here are the main topics (and direct links) to the content I will be covering in this video:
Chapter Links:
00:00 Introduction
03:30 Removing The Valve Covers
07:26 Setting Engine Timing to TDC
9:05 Removing The Exhaust Manifolds
13:20 Removing The Alternator Bracket
15:08 Removing The Vibration Damper & Pulley
16:50 Removing The Distributor
17:58 Removing The Mixture Control Unit
24:55 Removing The Intake Manifold
38:54 Removing The Camshaft Sprockets
46:07 Removing The Timing Chain Tensioner
48:01 Removing The Upper Guide Rails
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. See my video Removing The Rear Main Seal:
