Early 350 and 450 V8 Valve Clearance Adjusting Wrench for 17mm Ball Adjusters

The most NEGLECTED service on these early D-Jet D-Jetronic V8s. For 1969 through 1975 W111 W108 W109 R107 and W116 with the 3.5 or 4.5 V8 engine

Valve clearance adjustment should be done every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Recently emails started coming in - "we can not find any valve adjustment tools for our earlyV8 - help!" Most companies are currently noting the old factory-style tools are no longer being manufactured, so we went to work to come up with the strongest and tightest fitting wrench that would go onto the ball socket adjusters and would not "spin-off" and round out the nuts. Watch the video below as Kent explains the problem and shows how this wrench may be the best available anywhere!

Product Details

IMPORTANT: Since the adjuster nuts are about 16.5 mm we have to take a 16mm crows foot and grind it slightly bigger so it fits TIGHT on the nuts and can round them off. Limited availability as we custom build these in our own shop and they are quite time-consuming to make the modification to fit VERY TIGHT on the ball adjuster.
