Mercedes factory injector seal parts, tools and manual

[Electrician 2]

After some web inquiries and research on how to proceed with my injector seal replacement project, I've opted to go for the factory Mercedes kit for the job. The consequences for messing the job up are pretty high, so I didn't want to take any chances.

I think cleaning the bores is pretty straightforward - and a shotgun cleaning kit would probably do the job just fine for this task, as others have mentioned.

I was mostly nervous about removal of the injectors without damaging them, plugging the injector to combustion chamber opening to prevent the cleaning gunk from falling in and properly cleaning and prepping the seats. The factory kit addresses all of this.

This is a repair I felt comfortable taking on, so I figure this cost will be easily recouped in money saved over labor at the shop for the job, and I will probably use this toolset at least a few times over the life of this engine.

Kevin,

If you hover over electrician 2's avatar you will see he has not logged on to the forums since January 2020 so I doubt you will get an answer from him. I think you would do better by starting a new thread with your question to see if anyone else can help.

Keith.
