1993 MB 190E 2.3 - head gasket

Sent to Car Experts August 06 09:48 PM

1993 MB 190E 2.3 Anyone have experience taking the cylinder head off a 190E? This is the first time I've ever done engine work and I'm having problems.

I'm following the Haynes guide for 1984-1988's and also an online service (alldatadiy.com). Everything has been disconnected according to the books, but something on the intake side is still apparently attached. When I pump the hoist I can see the exhaust side seperating slightly, but the intake side stays firm.

The books recommend leaving both manifolds attached when removing the head ... any opinions if that's easier?

Any advice, I'd appreciate.

Issue resolved; no need for responses. At the top of the AC pipe group bracket there was another head bolt that wasn't in the books. Removed that and the head came up just fine.
