Good complete set of star head silver bolts for 617 5 cylinder turbo diesel engines from 1978-1985. These should be replaced with new or good used if your engine has overheated enough to blow a head gasket. A special socket is required. See related products below:

Not complete. Good for parts. One of the fitting threads in the housing was stripped out and a helicoil inserted but at a different thread pitch. The back of the body plate has heavy corrosion but is till usable. If someone needs parts this could help restore another leveling valve.

For all 4.5, 5.0 and 5.6 liter V8 engines from 1972 to 1991 (excluding the W140 500SEL).

I have used a ton of 5/8 inch spark plug sockets over the years but this one is the best. Primarily for two reasons: 1. The rubber holder inside the socket is twice as long and twice as strong as what is in most of the other spark plug sockets out there.  2.

Exceptionally good used shift indicator cover. Not all beat up and scratched like most. The top face with chrome accents and lettering is almost mint.

Please note: This is the cover only. If you need the entire mechanism see related products.

SSince new original style pumps are no longer made, this is the best way to finally fix your old fuel pump leaks and poor performance.

Fits all 123 chassis sedans and wagons from 1977 to 1985. This is the complete kit for the left side front or rear door. It includes a new striker, four new Mercedes OE Allen bolts, special removal tool and instructions.

This tank works amazing! Put in the heavy rear end or trans fluid. Pump up the pressure. Stick the non-fall-out end in to fill hole... and just push on the valve in the handle of the filling wand.

For years I just used old shop rags to catch the drips - until I found this! What a great solution. Watch the video below for more details

I have gone through a lot of pain dealing with leaks in either fuel and high pressure threaded fittings. This can be true of biodiesel or vegetable oil conversion systems. Vegetable oil has an amazing wicking ability and will leak out of the slightest thread flaw.

Why do you need to do this?  Valve clearances are supposed to be adjusted on these early V8s every 10,000 miles. You can imagine why this does not get done! Add to the fact owners can not find the right information or tools and it makes neglect even worse Why not on later model years?

The newest generation of high dielectric grease has some rather amazing properties that solve a number of problems when restoring and maintaining older cars.

Many of these particular big V8 models are now becoming true collector cars and going up in value at a steady rate. ( especially the 560SEC and 560SL) Most of their fuel injection delivery  (FID) systems are old and tired and have not been properly maintained.

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.

PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE ORDERING to confirm the type of accumulator you have. ( Watch the last video below for examples )For systems with ONE HOLE ACCUMULATOR only. Some 450SL, 450SLC, 450SE, 450SEL with 4.5  and W116 280SE .

Leaking fuel injector pumps have become a very common problem in the 60x. engines produced from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. The early 60x.

The R107 and C107 plastic shift bushings are very common parts that need to be replaced more often than not. Can you believe it is the exact same part that was used on all models for over 25 years! It is an inexpensive part that can cause big problems if it breaks out.

With the long lead provided (12+ feet) you can hook up to your car battery and go around the car and test the operation of various electrical components.
