Mercedes 617 Turbo Diesel Timing Chain Replacement Kit

FITS THE FOLLOWING: 116 123 and 126 chassis, from 1978 to 1985 with 617 5 cylinder TURBO diesel engines ONLY. This is a super important maintenance item for your diesel engine. Depending on maintenance and oil change schedules this chain should be replaced in the 150,000 mile to 200,000 range. If your timing chain lets go while driving, it is not a pretty sight. It will usually destroy the engine. If the chain is stretched more than 3 or 4 degrees your cam timing and injection pump timing with be retarded. This will lead to rough starts, excessive smoke, and poor power. If you do not have any records of a replacement, do it now!

As well as the chain I always replace the timing chain tensioner and upper chain guide rail at the same time. In this kit I also supply you with a turbo tensioner spring which tends to wear out due to vibration, and the timing chain master link. This complete kit comes with all these parts as well as step by step instructions on how to install the timing chain yourself without having to take the engine apart, or having to use any special tools to get the job done. By replacing this you will be pleased with the new performance as well as sleep better at night. DO NOT PUT THIS OFF!
