Kent has been working a long time to find a way to stop the ugly corrosion on aluminum and magnesium engine parts. Particularly valve covers and intake manifolds.

When working on automotive engines a long heavy machinist straight edge is a must. This is the best way to tell if the mating surfaces are flat and true. That includes cylinder heads, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds as well as critical sealing metal to metal covers and housings. 

This is a great solution to what is sometimes a nagging problem. This heavy duty and flexible and adjustable plastic spacer can be put on the top or bottom radiator to prevent chafing in and area where it might come in contact the the engine or the radiator.

Kent modified this puller and developed a procedure to remove the front crank seal race so the job could be affordable from the DIY mechanic. This costs less than half the cost of the factory tool.

When changing the front crank seal on your older 6 cylinder Mercedes you may or may not need to replace the sealing race that goes on over the front of the crankshaft.

Have you ever had a hard time finally a very small coolant leak? Do you find yourself adding small amounts of coolant but can not see any leak? Is there a funny smell coming from inside your Benz when you run the heater?

You will receive two (2) five liter bottles more than enough to do a full oil change on any vehicle:

This is the hose on the left side of your engine that seems to always rot and leak power steering fluid. If you look closely at it you will most likely see small cracks in the hose. This is the larger size hose used on those early models with power steering from the early 1960's through 1976.

Kent finally went to work to solve the problem of rusty water pump mounting bolts. Once the problem was studied carefully the solution became obvious. Watch the video for a full explanation and partial instructions below.

Kit contents:

For a number of maintenance operations, you need to be able to turn the engine over by hand. This includes valve adjustment, timing chain replacement, injection pump timing on diesel engines, checking and setting internal engine timing, draining the torque converter, and others.

UPS GROUND ONLY: This is the best spray can paint Kent has found to detail the semi-gloss black parts on your Benz.  It is not easy to find a good spray can paint!

Lubro Moly Diesel hi test fuel additive that does far more than just add lubrication to the fuel. Formulated for the new low sulfur diesel fuel. Contains an additive against injection pump and injector wear.

This is a very handy smaller torque wrench to have in your toolbox. Perfect for spark plugs. It will do fuel injectors but is not quite big enough to torque wheel lug bolts. Range is 5 to 80-foot pounds. The case will be black rather than red.

Final drive seal (45 x 65 x 11mm)

Fits Mercedes Benz:

If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors, you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly, you should use a torque wrench. In fact, if you do your own work, you should have a 1/2-inch clicker torque wrench in your toolbox.

January 2019 notice: This filter is now available only in very limited quantities and may not be readily available in the future. This is why we are not able to include it in our full fluid flush kit ( See related products below) This is an often neglected filter.

Another High Quality product from Lubro Moly. This is a 300ml can of Motor Oil Saver. It Rejuvenates rubber and plastic engine seals and reduces oil consumption via the piston rings and valve guides; counteracts the loss in viscosity of motor oils.

New rubber stop for rear exhaust bracket. It plugs into the body right above the back of the rear muffler. Helps prevent rattle. Fits almost all models from late 1960s to mid 1990s. When you hear something clunking in the back when you go over a bump, this part is probably missing.
