Engine Timing Kit for Mercedes-Benz M651 Diesel 1.8 2.1 2.2

A camshaft timing kit for Mercedes-Benz M651 diesel engines, covering 1.8, 2.1 and 2.2 variants. It is used to lock the engine in its timed position while the camshaft drive chain is removed and refitted, helping keep alignment in place during the job.

Used for timing chain work and more involved engine servicing, this Mercedes M651 timing kit suits mechanics, engine specialists and anyone working on these diesel engines. When carrying out strip-down and reassembly, accurate timing position matters, especially on chain-driven engines where movement during the job can cause extra work. The included balance shaft alignment tool also makes it suitable for jobs where both main timing and balance shaft positioning need to be dealt with together.

Covering the stated M651 engine sizes, the timing tool kit is intended for model-specific engine timing work rather than general workshop use. Having the timing tools and balance shaft alignment tool together can save time compared with sourcing separate pieces, and it helps keep the job more straightforward when preparing for chain removal and refitting. The kit also matches the relevant OEM reference numbers listed for this type of M651 engine work, which is useful when checking application before starting. For regular servicing and repair work on these diesel engines, having the correct locking tools close to hand helps avoid unnecessary interruption once the engine is stripped down.
