Key Features

• Exact Fit: Tailored for the M271 series, including models such as W203, W204, C-Class (CLC), E-Class (W211), and SLK (R171).
• High-Strength Material: Made from hardened steel with a protective coating to resist corrosion and wear under high temperatures.
• Torx Exterior Threads: All bolts feature Torx drive heads, providing superior torque transfer and reducing the risk of stripping.
• Complete Kit: Includes ten (10) M10 x 1.5 mm bolts, each 165 mm long, along with matching nuts and a set of top-locking screws for added security.
• OEM Quality: Manufactured to Mercedes-Benz original equipment specifications, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Clean the cylinder head surface thoroughly to remove any debris or old gasket material.
2. Alignment: Position each bolt in its designated slot, ensuring that the Torx head aligns with the torque wrench.
3. Tightening Sequence: Follow a cross-pattern tightening sequence to evenly distribute pressure across the head. Start at 30 Nm, then increase incrementally to the final torque value.
4. Top-Lock Application: Insert the top-locking screws into the corresponding holes to secure the bolts against vibration and thermal expansion.
5. Final Check: Verify all bolts are at the specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench. Replace any that fall outside tolerance.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect bolts periodically for signs of wear or loosening, especially after high-performance driving sessions.
• Avoid over-tightening; excessive torque can strip threads or damage the cylinder head.
• Use a fresh set of Torx bits when reassembling to maintain consistent torque application.
