Mercedes Sprinter T1N Intake Valve – Mahle | OM647 2.7L 5-Cylinder | #6280530001

DESCRIPTION:

Intake valves on the OM647 5-cylinder diesel control the precise timing and volume of charge air entering each combustion chamber — and when they wear, burn, or lose their seating, compression drops and engine performance follows. On a high-mileage T1N Sprinter undergoing cylinder head service or a full rebuild, new intake valves are a non-negotiable part of a proper head reconditioning. This Mahle OEM intake valve for the OM647 2.7L 5-cylinder diesel is sold individually.

What This Part Does

The intake valve opens during the intake stroke to allow the incoming air charge into the cylinder, then seals completely during compression and combustion. A precise seal at the valve face is critical for maintaining compression — even a minor imperfection from carbon deposits, pitting, or wear causes compression loss on that cylinder. On the OM647, each cylinder has two intake valves and two exhaust valves, for a total of 20 valves across all five cylinders.

Intake vs. Exhaust — Key Difference

Intake valves (this part, 6280530001) are larger in diameter than exhaust valves (6280530005) to maximize airflow into the cylinder. They operate in a cooler environment than exhaust valves but are equally susceptible to carbon deposit buildup and seat wear over high mileage.

• Type: Intake (sold individually)
• Stem diameter: 7mm
• Fitment: OM647 2.7L 5-cylinder diesel

When to Replace

Replace during any cylinder head rebuild, when compression testing reveals low compression on a specific cylinder, when valve seating is found to be compromised during head reconditioning, or as part of a complete valve job. Always replace valve stem seals at the same time.
