My Mercedes Was A Ticking Time Bomb!

So the $1,000 1998 Mercedes S420 has a few issues. There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes, right? Well, I'm going to prove that saying wrong in this series of videos as I get this Mercedes W140 back on the road.
In this video, I'll show you how camshaft oiler tube replacement. The tubes were once metal, but Mercedes decided to make them plastic in new versions of the S500 series cars. It's an easy job and you won't need lots of tools!
Mercedes S500 restoration doesn't have to be expensive. You can do it on a budget that's good to your wallet.

If Mike could go back ten years he surely wouldn’t see himself as a competent mechanic and RU-vidr in 2023, but he is 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Mike. A humble suggestion, please find a complete set of metal tube from an older M119 motor and replace the O rings with genuine MB Orings. My E420 had no busted tubes but hardened O rings at 110k miles. I followed this procedure and problem stood resolved with higher oil pressure and no ticking. if the engine is run for a longer period in this condition with ticking valves and low oil pressure, cams get worn out

Hey Dude, how do you know so much mechanic stuff? After all you were a news anchor for 25 years, can you make a video of you got here? I think it will make good content and the viewers will get to know you as well.

Its bad enough for mercedes to put plastic things around the outside of an engine but putting them on the inside is just unacceptable! Can you superglue those caps on the oil tubes? Lola is such a beautiful dog. 😍

Love these cars owned some my brother still has his s500, I personally would bite the bullet and replace all of the tubes, 3 blew off already , big chance some other would blow off go in the wrong hole clog a oil port and kill this beautiful engine
