Im currently doing a partial overhaul of my OM617.952 engine. It was leaking a lot of oil so I decided to replace all seals and gaskets. I had to pull the crankshaft to do the rear seal so I figured I should replace the timing chain and all sliders/tensioner. Ive been looking for a reasonably priced crimping tool specifically for the OM617 engine but have not been able to locate one.

I found this one that appears to the be the same as the one specifically made for the OM617. I was wondering if any one else has used one of these tools on the OM617? Yes I know it isn't listed in the compatible models on the auction. I also know that it is a very low quality tool, I only need it do work for one crimp.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
