560SL - Fuel Distributor 0-Ring Replacement

This Video: R107 - Fuel Distributor 0-Ring Replacement All the R107 manuals and resources in one place — free and online. 👉 https://TonyLiveTV.com I am documenting every part of this vehicle as I put it back together. The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet. In this video I pick up where I left off yesterday and replace the two sealing rings (o-rings) that are located on the bottom of the fuel distributor. The Mercedes-Benz documentation calls this procedure "renewing sealing ring for control piston", but I'm titling this video Fuel Distributor 0-Ring Replacement because it makes more sense to me.

It seems to be quite accurate as I have tested it with a caliper: https://amzn.to/3NZp32J In this video I also used an ultrasonic cleaner. I really like the one I have. The one I have is a 6L/1.7 gallon with strong heater and digital timer. This one has a 300 watt heater and 180 watts for ultrasonic cleaning. You will see in this video that it is very effective: https://amzn.to/3ymnu8N Of course you can no longer purchase this and I have not found a reasonably priced one with a high output heater and strong ultra-sound like the one I purchased. You MUST keep things clean! Don't use just any ordinary paper towel. Paper towels will leave small fibers behind. What I use are these Lint Free Cleanroom Wipes: https://amzn.to/3nK8RXW You will also need some common tools like a 12mm and 17mm open end to remove the injector lines and a screwdriver to remove the fuel distributor. There are no torque specifications for this job. This video is very detailed and is intended for the absolute beginner (ME). This is how I did things.
