Mercedes A, C, E-Class, Sprinter, Vito - Timing Chain Kit (OM651)

Description

This premium engine timing chain kit is engineered to factory original equipment dimensions and tolerance specifications to restore precise internal valvetrain synchronization. Designed explicitly for the high-torque, double-overhead-cam (DOHC) Mercedes-Benz OM651 inline-four diesel engine family, it synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the twin camshafts. The heavy-duty simplex chain is manufactured with heat-treated link pins and high-tensile side plates to prevent structural stretching, timing retardation, and premature wear over millions of revolutions. Included inside the kit are impact-resistant, micro-grain composite slide guides and a hydraulic tensioner plunger designed to maintain correct system tension while suppressing internal chain rattle. Replacing a noisy, slack, or worn timing setup eliminates critical valve-to-piston engine collision risks, restores smooth power delivery, and optimizes combustion timing.

Application Note: Engineered for Mercedes-Benz 1.8-litre and 2.1-litre (commonly badged as 180, 200, 220, or 250) OM651 turbo-diesel powerplants. Because the timing assembly on the OM651 engine is located at the rear of the block (flywheel side), professional installation utilizing dedicated camshaft alignment locking tools is highly recommended.
