HV CYLINDER COMPONENTS & KITS

The Clevite 789-1017 is a comprehensive engine rebuild kit designed for the 2.7L diesel engine found in Dodge Sprinter vans. This kit includes pistons, piston ring sets, connecting rod bearings, main bearing sets, thrust washer sets, an engine cylinder gasket set (including an MLS head gasket), and an engine conversion (lower) gasket set. Providing high-quality components, it facilitates a complete engine overhaul, ensuring durability and performance for heavy-duty commercial vehicle applications.

The kit is engineered to meet or exceed original factory standards. All internal components are manufactured by MAHLE/Clevite, known for precision engineering in automotive engine internals. The gasket sets are designed to provide a reliable, leak-free seal across the entire engine block and cylinder head. The pistons and rings are designed for optimal combustion efficiency and oil control.

Installation of this engine rebuild kit requires a professional mechanic and specialized engine machining and assembly equipment. It is highly recommended to have the engine block and crankshaft measured by a qualified machine shop before choosing the correct bearing and piston sizes (stock vs. oversized/undersized options). Proper torque specifications and sequences should be strictly followed during assembly to prevent premature engine failure.

This kit is specifically intended for the 2.7L diesel engine platform. Compatibility depends on the specific engine sub-model and configuration found in 2005-2006 Dodge Sprinter commercial vehicles. Users should ensure their engine block is clean and free of debris, and all clearances (bearing oil clearances, ring end gaps) must be verified during the rebuild process. Professional installation and break-in procedures are advised.
