@mfundenimthembu651 Год назад

I must say, it's quite unsettling that there's so many internal parts on this engine that are sensitive and break easily or wear out easily. This is a Mercedes Benz, you're not supposed to have so much easily broken internal parts. That being said, I just love your attention to the smallest detail... You're a mechanic, one can trust with one's life!

@lakeminnetonkaoutdoors7532 Год назад

most do not break. it al comes down to the user and how he takes care of engine, remember he is buying used engines? There's a reason they are for sale and he needs them to have issues or he wouldn't have content. I have 3- M156 and they are truly remarkable

@jfv65 Год назад

Mercedes-Benz is nowhere near what it used to be. Their reputation was made based on the w118, w123, w126, w124, w140, etc. From about the year 1999 onwards the corporate pennypinchers caused a steady decline in quality. Same for bmw. Same for volvo and jaguar. From then on the quality King was Lexus.

@Andrew4181975 Год назад

I agree, who the f#@k thought it was a good idea to have plastic internal engine parts, and I've never accepted that belief that timing chains stretch. I call BS on that one, a timing belt ok, but not a damn metal chain.

@SpencyP92 Год назад

I've been a tech for a long time and I guess lots of us are just used to combustion engines, and because we understand how they function it seems like they are simple, but when you really take them apart you see how incredibly complex and detailed they are and how amazing of a feat of engineering they are. I've never taken apart a cam phaser even though I've changed dozens. Just the machining of it is such an intricate masterpiece.. and while we know it's all done by programmed machines at this point, the first one ever done was done by a person by hand or with multiple trial and error runs. Truly unbelievable and it's why I'll NEVER get rid of my cars when the electric world has taken over.

Hey Alex a really nice way to get the guide pins out is putting a. few nuts and washers on the bolt you put in and that pushes against the front cover and takes them out easy

@salogel88 Год назад

Oh boy, that was a lot of RTV! I'd be woried about clogging up the pick-up. Migh be worth checking the bearings, but those cam caps looked good, so most likely no worries there. Not a big fan how on modern engines you need specific tools to work on them. Love how every part Alex touches has some factory defect with it :DD Good old M113. Loving the series tho! Keep it up man!

@ndg49 Год назад

Wow, Alex!!! That is one incredible "how to" for that engine... actually, it's a great guide as to how you should approach any engine (re)build. I've never had the fortune to actually do that work except for helping a buddy of mine waaaaay back build a monster Pontiac 421 with a high lift cam, tunnel ram and a pair of 780 Holleys. Of course, it took a few days to sort it out. With 13.5:1 pistons and the high lift cam, we kept bending pushrods. So, we opted for a lower lift cam and it lived, much to the chagrin of the owner of the gas station across the street whose alarm we were setting off at midnight. That old GTO had a roll cage, full tilt welded steel front end, etc, etc. He sold it after winning one race.

@PETERNESS Год назад

You wouldnt believe it ,i just started watching your video pretty pretty happy with myself ,my LS1 yesterday started making the dreaded lifter tik and my heart sank ,stuck lifter it sounded awful ,went to my parts store for advice and purchased Liqui Moly Tappet Stop Noise ,within 28 seconds the top end is quiet as a church mouse its amazing ,its a sign from above

@hectorherbert6585 Год назад

when I rebuilt my 5 cyl Volvo turbo engine (in 2001 from a V70 R) ,i managed to find someone who had bought factory tools for torquing engine bolts & other parts simultaneously ..,I know it did make a huge difference..,since I never had to 'touch' it ever again.....so for a 20 y/o 420 HP 'sleeper' daily car motor ,except regular maintenance like proper filters , oil & 98 octane and love !!..it's not bad..

@citydreams101 Год назад

@Iexpedite1 Год назад

I was in a hotel that had a fire alarm going off. The parking lot was full of people in various stages of dress freezing in the cold. A while later, we all went back to our rooms. The alarm went off again. A bunch of people in the lot, but more of them had taken the time to get dressed. This happened 4 times. I didn’t see anyone after the second alarm, I stayed in the bed and ignored the alarm.

@miscbits6399 Год назад

if you need things to align before contact - like that front timing cover - then put in a few long studs and slide the cover over them, then toss in the rest of your bolts and swap the studs out before torquing everything down

@bluesmobil-gunnar Год назад

If you built the engine like you did (minus the bigger injectors) but left it at stock power / tune it should basically last forever if driven properly, right? More power is also nice. I rate your German 'Hogan's Heroes' level , btw 😉

@MikeHarris1984 Год назад

Questions, on the drive back, are you treating this as a new engine break in? Oil change after the first 600 miles with just regular oil?

@jimmaey Год назад

Alex, why are the cam tools not correct? The zylinder links (left) is on the right side and the zylinder rechts ( right) is on the left side. Are you supposed to look at it from the back ? Becaus the crank pulley is at the front together with the cam tools. The exhaust and intake markings do seem to be correct.
