These are three inexpensive parts that seem to never get replaced when they wear out. If "mechanics" miss these items. Are you losing coolant? Are you losing windshield washer fluid? Do you have unsightly oil on your right valve cover?
Hard to believe we took so long to come up with this tool. It was Gerson's genius that made it happen. The secret turned out to be the hook that keeps the tool in place while stretching out the rubber donut. Wow! What a cool tool.
Best engine oil filters for your classic R107 or C107. As seen on Cherry.
Good used rocker arm assemblies as shown. This is the actual set you will receive.
When replacing the thermostat in your order diesel you may end up fitting a lot of corrosion. This kit will help you make sure you do not have any leaks when you install the new thermostat and will prevent corrosion of the housing bolts in the future.
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?
In this video, Kent will walk you through the steps needed to convert your older Brake Bleeder tank to one that can continue to bleed brake systems as well as pressure test radiators and cooling systems.
This plate is often corroded and pitted. The locking tabs are usually rusted away. And the original alloy nuts are often rounded off. This is not perfect but way better than most.
This tool will allow you to remove a cylinder head pre-chamber on a 1990 to 1991 350SD 350SDL (126 chassis), 1990 to 1993 300D 2.5 (124 chassis), and 1992 to 1995 300SD / S350 (140 chassis). The special black fitting attached to the slide hammer is custom made in our shop.
GOOD USED air filter housing with hoses as shown. Study the picture carefully. This is the actual unit you will receive. No filter is included. The rubber y connector is not cracked and still soft. It is missing the long tube and elbow to the valve cover.
This is a selection of used parts removed from A 1952 220 Sedan. Some would also fit the W187 coupes and convertibles. No specific description will be given on each part. There is no guarantee that all the parts will fit the described vehicle (mistakes can happen). Study the picture carefully.
If you already have our complete repair kit and just need an extra set of seals (10) here you go. No instructions included.
You will receive two (2) five liter bottles more than enough to do a full oil change on any vehicle:
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. There are no stripped bolts in the housing. Even the balance tube banjo bolt threads are super. Hose nipples have a couple pits in them. Should be ok as is or you can sand and fill the pits with JB weld.
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! It does NOT work on the M110 twin cam engine.
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 two small banjo bolts for the tube along with aluminum sealing rings.
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 working EGR valve. HARD TO FIND. The valve opens and closes properly and holds a strong vacuum. Hard to find. Failure of this unit can cause excess smoke, poor idle, and/or rough shifting. Check to see if yours holds vacuum. Easy to replace.
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.
A good used manifold as shown.
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.

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.

New O.E. cap as shown. Alert: These are almost out of production.
Exceptionally nice set of high-performance spark wires as shown. These should be replaced approximately every 80,000 miles for peak performance.
If you are a 1969 to 1991 V8 you should have some extras of these on hand. They are inexpensive and should be replaced anytime you remove your valve covers. The gaskets will keep a good seal longer than the bolt washers.
These will fit all 1976 to 1991 4.5, 3.8, 5.0 and 5.6-liter V8 engines with Bosch C.I.S fuel injection. PLEASE NOTE: These spark plugs have an aluminum end cap that does screw off. You will receive the plugs with the end cap installed.
