For use on 220 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 1968 to 1985. NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED: The tool is meant for someone who has the factory manual or who already knows how to adjust their injection pump timing on the older diesel engines. Injection pump timing is critical for peak performance.
Kent's procedure uses the factory recommended "drip tube method" but with a "twist." He has devised a way to get accurate and consistant IP timing results while trying to get the drip tube to drip at one drip per second exactly when it should!
The FLOW pressure method can be used to both check and set injection pump timing. Personally, Kent likes to use this method only when checking if the I.P. needs adjustment.
The FLOW or low pressure method of checking and adjusting injection pump timing does not require a separate pressure tank. With this method you use the hand primer pump to pump up pressure in the injection pump to get fuel to flow out of the half round drip tube included in this kit.
Kent put together the three most important products you will need to use his pressurized method of setting the critical timing on your diesel engine injection pump. This is often negelected and when corrected can lead to faster starts, better fuel economy and less engine smoke.
This one hour long on demand video is included free with the purchase of Kent's OM61x injection pump timing kit. The method he teaches uses his own kit, his custom built pressure tank, and his special IP snake wrench.
FITS THE FOLLOWING: 115 116 123 and 126 chassis, from 1974 to 1985 with all 4 and 5-cylinder diesel engines. .This is a super important maintenance item for your diesel engine.
Another wrench designed by Kent Bergsma and born out of frustration. This could be the weirdest wrench anywhere in the world! While shooting a video on adjusting the injection pump timing on an older Mercedes diesel Kent ran into a big problem.
Did you hear these are not available? No part number anywhere? Well, as the source we went to work and made it happen. You can now purchase the correct copper sealing rings for your OM616 and OM617 injection pump delivery valves.
Excellent used delivery valve (not scored) and housing nut that mounts on the top of the injection pump. Includes threaded housing, spring, valve body, and valve. A bad delivery valve or valves can cause rough idle, smoke, poor power, etc.
The timing device installed in the W115, W116, W123 and early W126 with OM615, OM616, and OM617 engines from 1986 to 1985 is somewhat a mystery to many owners.
NOTE: Ships UPS ground only. Select ground for entire order to save in shipping costs. I am a great fan of LubroMoly products.
WARNING READ CAREFULLY: If your vacuum pump recently broke apart there may be a reason for it other than just a vacuum pump fatigue failure. When these pumps break up inside there is usually a problem with the drive mechanism inside the diesel engine.
This is Kents new favorite ratchet wrench for turning engines over during service and repair. There are a number of maintenance procedures that require you rotate the engine over by hand.
When used for bleeding or flushing your brake system, a single person can do a rapid fluid flush! No mess and very efficient. Will work on all Mercedes from 1968 to 1995 - Also select 1960's models and most later chassis up to 2006 see list below: 25-minute video instructions are now included.
This is a collection of SPECIAL tools Kent has put together to help you grab, twist, and pull on things in and around your Mercedes. He makes each one of these tools right here in his shop.
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 video will walk you step-by-step through the proper procedures for doing a full compression test on your older V8 Mercedes Engine.
For all 5 cylinder Garrett turbos on 300SD 300D 300CD and 300TD 1978 to 1985. Printed 24 page instruction manual included.
In this video Kent will walk you through the step-by-step procedures he uses when diagnosing and repairing an older Mercedes diesel engine that either won't start or is very difficult to start.
I don't think there is any owner out there who has owned a 1978 to 1993 diesel automatic for any length of time and who has not had some sort of shift problem with the transmission. Maybe it was just a little jerk or a slipping shift. Maybe the rear end clunked hard when you came to a stop.
If you have been enjoying Kent's free Youtube videos but have not yet purchased and watched one of his on-demand "meat and potatoes" videos, we guarantee you are really missing something.
For 200D 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD to 1985. This manual is written specifically for the diesel owner who wishes to know more about his engine and to understand how to tune and adjust it for maximum performance.
