If your diesel engine is starting to shut off very slowly or maybe not at all and you know your vacuum system is ok, it may be time to replace the vacuum fuel shutoff valve located at the rear of the injection pump.
Born out of frustration this twin chamber plastic bottle has solved two of Kent's biggest head aches when brake bleeding or flushing brake systems.
When was the last time you knocked one of your vacuum lines off around the oil filter housing, only to discover when you tried to reattached it that the fittings or hose were swollen and would just not stay connected?
Keeping your injectors clean and tuned is one of the best ways you can improve mileage in a diesel. Buy both Kents new manual Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaning and Testing Procedures and his Top Brass Custom Cleaning Tool Kit and save!

Mercedes 114, 115, 107, 116, 123, 126, 124, and 201 chassis window trim has a super strong anodized coating that is impervious to hand polishing but still can oxidize when exposed to harsh environmental elements. When this happens the trim becomes spotted and milky in color and it is NOT pretty!

I have been discovering this is one of those maintenance areas that suffers from severe neglect. Failure of the rubber support or center drive shaft bearing can cause all types of improperly diagnosed vibration problems - some commonly change with vehicle speed.
This is actually 2 sets of bumpers that will allow you to make one really good set. I have been working to get a nice pair for the past 20 years to go on that perfect 6.9 but time is running out. On to the next enthusiast.
6 "German style" non-cutting hose clamps as shown. These are wider than most to better seal the hose to the fitting. See our other hose clamp assortments below.
In this collection you will receive the CIS pressure testing short kit and all 6 of Kent's videos on Bosch CIS fuel injection theory, tester connections and testing. Click on each link below to read about the specifics of each. This combo kit overs a great savings.
If you plan to replace, test, or service your electronic fuel injectors you first must determine which bottom seals you will need. If you have a 1970 or 1973 model, you most likely have the single-bottom seal (unless your engine has been changed).
In this 24-minute instructional video, Kent shows you more than just how to change the transmission filter and the pan.
In this 19-minute detail instructions, Kent will show you how to get the old seal out, how to trial fit the new seal, and how to glue it in place properly. You can not believe how many seals we see that have not been installed properly.
In this detailed 22-minute video instruction, Kent will show you how to use his kit to perform a power drain on most 1965 to 1995 automatic transmission.
Yes, YOU can fully drain all your transmission without using any type of "power flush." Full detailed video instructions are included. This kit is easy to connect and the process is quick and clean. Watch Kent's YouTube video below for full details.
You will receive ten each of the following sizes: 8/12, 10/16, and 12/22. These are much better than U.S. style hose clamps that cut into the hose.
Kent shares with you 3 key steps that you should consider doing to get your old fuel injected 6 and 8 cylinder engines running properly. These include:
These will no longer be printed when these are gone. They will still be available as a download. All books are signed by Kent. This is an end of an era for us. Most books are approximately 15 pages in length and covered with heavy clear plastic.
DO NOT ORDER UNTIL YOU REMOVE ONE INJECTOR IN YOUR ENGINE AND INSPECT THE HOLE. Sometime in 1974, Mercedes changed the way these injectors were sealed into the head to prevent air leaks. A "YELLOWISH" nylon sleeve was added along with two seals on the lower end of the fuel injector.
You can not believe how easy it is to move and adjust your old seat after lubrication the tracks with this amazing lubricant! You will receive two full tubes plus the extension nozzle. This is more than enough lube to do the seats with four tracks on each side.
These quality 6.5 inch wire cutters are made of special steel, the blades are high-frequency hardened steel. Suitable for cutting soft copper wire, plastic wire, small cable, aluminum wire, soft alloy wire, jewelry making, multifunctional manual edge banding pliers.
I am throwing in the wires for free, so please, no complaints. They work and are not all the same color, but you could use them if you ever need to replace one wire. The two wire holders for the valve covers are also included from free.
In this 9-minute instructional video, Kent explains how to set up his injection pump cleaning and testing kit ( available separately ), and use it to clean out old fuel injection pumps of gum and grime, and then how to test them to make sure they are delivery fuel through every line.
This is the best way to determine if the expensive injection pump is going to work for old 4 AND 5-cylinder diesel engines that have not run in years. Watch the video below to understand what this kit can do.
In this 20-minute instruction video, Kent will show you how to take his short kit and combine it with a tester that you can purchase online to make a leak-free, reliable, and accurate fuel pressure tester for Bosch CIS fuel injection.
It has been over 30 years since the last Mercedes with Bosch C.I.S. fuel injection was manufactured. If you own a 1976 to 1993 Mercedes gas engine with this type of fuel injection, you may have difficulty finding someone to work on your car. In some parts of the country, it may be impossible.
USED tank as shown. No leaks. may need some cleaning.
Flushes Out Old Grease and Repacks Bearings with Less Mess. This Handy Packer works on bearings up to 3 1/2" O.D.
These fit all W116 from 1973 to 1980. You will often find these bent or broken. Door panel must be removed to replace them.
Excellent quality zinc plated hose clamps as shown. These can be tighten with a straight blade screw driver or a 7mm socket or nut driver.
Kent is a firm believer in using these strong magnets inside a transmission pan to help extend its useful life.
They should be placed toward the rear of the pan as shown in the picture below.
If you own, plan to own, and want to enjoy driving your old CIS fuel-injected Mercedes, Kent highly recommends you learn to do a full fuel system flow and pressure test.
This can replace that old, hardened, and worn-out seal at the bottom of your V8 air filter housing to prevent dirt and dust from entering your. Check yours soon to see how tight it fits on top of the fuel distributor.
Even many old-time Mercedes diesel "experts" are surprised about this part. It is so unknown that it never gets replaced in the oil filter housing, meaning that almost all of them are no longer working today. Watch the video below, and Kent will explain its location and function.
In this 17-minute video instruction, Kent walks you through the steps to install his door liner kit using thick, clear, and high-quality plastic sheets on both front and rear doors. A W123 sedan is shown here, but the principles are similar for other chassis.
If you own an older Mercedes sedan or wagon, it is a very good idea to remove all four door panels, repair components, clean drains, and, most importantly, lubricate all moving parts, as Kent explains in numerous YouTube videos.
When pressure testing your KE-jetronic fuel injection, you may find you need a really thin wrench to install the small fitting on the right side bottom of the fuel distributor.
This accumulator was unique in the mid to late 1970s. It was used on all 6.9s but only some 450 V8 models. That is why you MUST know which type you have BEFORE ordering. You can clearly see the two threaded holes coming into the front of the accumulator housing.
This is not a complete set. Study the picture carefully. This is exactly what you will get.
