If you own a 1998 to 2006 Mercedes with a V6 (M112) or a V8 (M113) engine this is one job you will have to deal with at some point. Just pull the top cover off your engine and look.

If you are tired of "guessing" on those critical low torque settings maybe it is time to get a small torque wrench. This is the one Kent likes for super low torque settings up. It is quality made and will not cost you an arm and a leg. You can even calibrate it yourself!

Fits all V6 engines from 1998 to 2005. Kent feels these are the best. Outstanding quality.

Kent, as well as others, have seen valve cover leaks return within a few years after resealing. Some feel this may be a design flaw, but I contend the job was never done right in the first place. Let Kent explain why the leaks come back...

This very common wear part is easy to inspect and easy to replace if you know how to loosen the drive belt. You do not need to take the belt all the way off - just drop the top down.

You will not believe the difference a new cap can make in terms of ease of removal. It wont last forever due to age and heat. So when it starts getting hard to remove you can just replace the seal and put a little oil on it!  What a great kit!!!

Includes a long custom bent 3/8 extension, correct socket, plastic mirror, and locking pin. You add another 3/8 extension to make the job a snap. Watch the video below for a full explanation of this tool and how it works.

This is the Febi Bilstein green 06161 power steering fluid for your M112 and M113 engines. You will need about 1.5 liters to do a complete flush. What about Petosin fluid, you may ask. Watch the video, and Kent explains why he uses this fluid as a direct replacement. 

This is a great solution to what is sometimes a nagging problem. This heavy duty and flexible and adjustable plastic spacer can be put on the top or bottom radiator to prevent chafing in and area where it might come in contact the the engine or the radiator.

Kent has tried a lot of different socket and extension combinations, but for him, this one works the best. You will have multiple options to work in tight places.

On the M112 V6 and M113 V8 engines this is the most common failure item that can leave you stranded. Better to replace it with an improved new part BEFORE your engine quits cold.

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.
