Looking for a beautiful restored low mileage late 123 240D 4-speed. White lightning is for sale! CLICK HERE to view.
This has become Kent's favorite engine oil for both his own high mileage gas and diesel cars ( over 100K miles). You have probably seen it and heard him talk about it in some of his YouTube videos.
Published in August of 2019, this has been one of the most requested videos over the past two previous years.
This price is for TWO nuts as shown. If you find you can not accurately adjust one of your older diesel engine valve clearances it usually means the threads on the lower adjusting nut are stripped. New ones are getting harder to find so we are offering good used as an alternative.
Please, what you see is exactly what will receive. These are mostly from OM616 and OM617 diesel engines and related transmissions and may NOT all be from the same vintage or chassis model. Study the picture carefully. Only one exactly like this.

Good used motor mount arms as shown. Good bolt threads. No galling or cross threading. Only one set is available. Will need some cleaning when you get them.
Good used part as shown. No stripped bolts in housing. Even the balance tube banjo bolt threads are super. Hose nipples are not pitted like most.
Good used set removed from a good running engine with approximately 200K miles
Many good uses where you need a strong 6 sided socket
GOOD used housing as shown. Does not include the lid.
If you own one of the early Mercedes overhead camshaft engines from the mid-1950's up to the mid-1970s that have mechanical (non-self-adjusting) lifters this is a MUST HAVE tool!
If you have worked on 5-cylinder 617 turbo diesel cylinder heads before you already know how important it is to have the correct socket for the star cylinder head bolts. This socket is a must to properly remove and re-torque those bolts.
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.
UPS ground shipping only. Can not be shipped internationally. Rather than try to explain what this kit does and how it does it we are going to ask you to watch the video below if you have not already done so.
These might be needed when replacing the engine head or aluminum water pump housing. This includes the water pump bypass tube and the one small banjo bolts for the tube just in case you break one. New copy sealing rings available separately ( see below )
Original set of bolts for the front engine pulleys. Hex heads are not rounded
Good used throttle linkage as shown. Study picture carefully. What you see is what you get.
This is the very best hose Kent has found to use to install spark plugs in restricted spaces. Watch the video below and he will demonstrate.
For later 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD Models. Most after 1980 BUT YOU MUST LOOK AT YOUR PUMP BEFORE ORDERING! WATCH KENT'S VIDEO BELOW. You have asked for it and we have delivered again.
The seal in this kit is out of production. Only small quantity left. For EARLY 240D 300D 300CD 300TD and W116 300SD Models. Usually up to 1980 BUT YOU MUST LOOK AT YOUR PUMP BEFORE ORDERING! WATCH KENT'S VIDEO BELOW. You have asked for it and we have delivered again.
The motor mount shield may not be the exact one shown. It may be painted or original. No cracks. Not perfect but very usable. If you leave this off your rubber mount will fail much quicker.
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:
Good used exhaust as shown in the picture. All the way from the turbo to the back of the car. This is a huge savings if you can pick it up. I will cut it in half to be rewelded by you if you need to get it in a smaller vehicle.
Keeping your throttle linkage ball sockets and pivot points lubricated extends the life of the parts and maintains top performance for the engine as well as some of the later transmissions.
Good used part as shown. There are no cracks in the flex joints.
A good used manifold as shown.
Very good used rocker arms as shown. For W123 and W126 5 cylinder turbo diesel engines. PLEASE NOTE: the bolts are NOT included ( you will see them in the picture). You will only receive the two rocker assemblies and you can use your own bolts.
This is the best cam and rockers we have seen in a long time. Super smooth with no scoring. What you see is what you will receive
Very unique diesel water pump just for this model. Water pump is a recent replacement and in very good condition. Water pump housing good except for a few pits in the nipples - will work as is or can be filled and sanded with JB weld.
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.
This is the part that more often than not gets lost when the SLS pump is removed from an engine for a long period of time. If you are trying to return the system to original after someone has removed the pump you most likely will need this part.
This video will take all the "mystery" away... For all W116, W123, and W126 Turbo Diesel 5
This is not a complete instructional video on how to "overhaul" the M116 and M117 D-Jetronic fuel injected V8 distributor. There is lots of information out there on installing new points, setting the dwell and timing, replacing the cap and wires, etc.
If you own a Mercedes with the M116 V8 engine (expect 1980 to 1982 380 engines with single low chains) timing chain failure can really ruin your day! If the engine it turning at high speed when this happens, it can destroy the engine.
If you own a Mercedes with the M117 V8 engine timing chain failure can really ruin your day! If the engine it turning at high speed when this happens, it can destroy the engine. If it happens at low speed, you may get away with removing the heads and replacing some bent valves.
Learn all the tricks to adjusting the valves on your older Mercedes V8 engine.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a complete instructional video on how to install a new timing chain in a 1970 to 1991 M116 or M117 Mercedes V8 engine. Rather it is a collection of "tips" to help you prevent running into trouble when doing this job yourself.
In this video, Kent will walk you through some initial steps you can take to try to solve a rough running problem on an early Mercedes V8 engine with D-Jetronic fuel injection. Please note that this is an introductory troubleshooting video. It does not contain any actual repair information.
For all 3.5, 3.8, and 4.2 liter V8 engines from 1969 to 1991 280SE 3.5, 300SEL 3.5, 380SE, 380SEC, 380SEL, 380SL and 420SEL. These THREE are the upper (and easily accessible) plastic guide rails that most often break due to age and heat.
