Valve Thruster Nut
Anyone have a good source for the larger of our 617 valve adjustment nuts ?
MB part number 615 053 00 72 I think its nuts (excuse the pun) to pay 6 to 10 bucks for a single nut. The lock nut, MB part number 153 990 02 51 I have located at under $2. I cant find a bigger picture either.

I looked around a little and if you can buy them for $6 somewhere that is a low price.
I suppose at the Junk Yard they would be cheap; but not new.

#4 intake is stripped for sure. Several others were obviously adjusted with something other than a 14mm.
I figure as long as I have the cam up, what better time to replace them all ?

It is indeed a crazy price for the new ones - we really need to know who makes this kind of stuff for Mercedes. There has to be a back door way of getting these parts for a reasonable price.

The smaller lock nut is apparently an MB only nut. 14mm flats are a non standard nut size. 153 990 02 51
Standard are 13mm and 15mm.

Do you have the right price?
A6150530072 adjusting nut is about €3 in Europe according to MB: http://et.mercedes-benz-clubs.com A1539900251 lock nut is about €7. Both are made from special hard steel, that might explain their high price.

Good question Govert.
I found a Laso Engine Valve Adjuster Nut for $1.74 / 1.32 Euro, the measurements sure look like the lock nut, Package Size (W x H x L): 0.50 x 0.20 x 0.50 inches
