We finally did it!!! We fixed the crazy issue that was so hard to figure out. This project is turning out so epic and we cant wait to share the final steps with you guys!!!
@@scaleadventures9018 No they didn't stop. They show two attempts. Normal procedure is to pull the fuel pump fuse and remove all sparkprlugs. That way, is the starter not fighting compression in the cylinders, and you are not squirting unburnt fuel into your catalytic converters. It's very basic. They are good at fixing exteriors, but basic engine skills seems to be lacking a bit.
you boys need to pull all the spark plugs when doing a compression test. if you pull one at a time you will not get a proper reading because pressure can enter or escape between cylinder. also pull your fuel pump fuse, you don’t want it to start.
I would find the recommended Mercedes compression test procedure. The spark plugs should normally be removed, along with cutting fuel. One of my cars needs the fuel injectors turned off or the car run with the relay removed until it stalls.
Well done Dad. The ONLY man NOT gas bagging and actually doing the "work" !! Thanks for sharing. From New Zealand. Well done all. I have enjoyed watching this. Cheers.
"We might be doing more damage as we're running this thing...." said EVERY other poster on every one of these videos...while watching the thing get started and revved 15 times a video...LOL. It's better to be lucky that good...hehe. These guys are the luckiest on the planet.... ;-)
Happy for you guys!!! I was a tad worried.... Next time on doing compression tests, just pull all spark plugs and let it turn over freely until the gauge stops climbing. Love the wheel/tire choice!!!
Well done boys! Simon was hitting on ALL cylinders in this video! I'm going to cry!!! And - so new no one let one go!!! Classic! Congrats on getting it out of limp mode - well done!
I told you ages ago it weren't no bent valves. Also when compression testing, pull the fuel pump fuse and put a battery tender on the battery when doing this.
Man I’m sure all the people in the comments know what they are talking about, but there’s just something about trial and error over and over until you find the problem and finding the problem and fixing it that is just so satisfying! You guys are really living the dream haha keep at it!
I liked this more than I would expect, pretty sick ride. Please make sure to include some before footage in the final video, makes such a bigger impact to see where you started and where you ended.
@@AMLagonda The fuel injectors being cut off prevents raw fuel from washing down the cylinder walls, and causing damage, as well as producing a false reading of the cylinders compression and these 2 goofs probably flooded the engine with fuel causing pre detonation could cause it burst into flames you must not work around modern cars
You need to disable the engine from starting when doing a compression test. You can unplug the coil and pull the relay for fuel pump. And pull all the plugs that way that way the engine can spin faster. I figured it was something simple. Good job.
Still think you guys should give this one to pops , he is your biggest supporter and he deserves it for all his running around and assisting you boys .
Right on Guys that G Wagon is looking good! I would also be so cool to see a video on the Porsche with maybe a road test on it! Looking forward to the next video!
You guys have come a long way. The quality of your work is really solid. Glad to see the G63 is sorted. I hope one of your wives gets to enjoy it as a daily driver. Same with the Uris.
Haven't been here for a while (building a home :) now coming back, seeing how great you guys advanced and how awesome Pops looks and is into your work makes me genuinely happy!
if you want more power get with eurocharged performance. they are one of the best mercedes tuners in the us. also when you do a compression test you are suppose to pull all the spark plugs and the fuel pump fuse. then check each cylinder be cranking the engine until you get a max reading on the gauge. all cylinders should be within 10%.
@@Notdb1gabe I missed the part where they mentioned this was a tutorial. The people who watch and enjoy this are here for VLOG style videos not to actually learn how to fix a wrecked car.
As always another amazing restoration, now since you have an AMG consider some weistec upgrades and a tune !!!!! That will wake this beast up easy 100+HP
This is why I like the channel; you brothers are not afraid of a challenge. You got that Sucker poppin! I must say Mercedes is my favourite car, I owned two so far!
Hey! it would be great to see some before / after shots at the end of a series. just some quick impressions on how bad the damage was at the beginning.
@visit-Profile Hi buds how you doing how's everything going you guys do such a good job and everything you do it's so glad you figured it all out you did a good job on this one and all the other ones God bless you guys Amen
@visit-Profile Hi guys how you doing how's everything with you guys how's the day treating you you guys did a good job on that g wagon and everything that you work on you guys do a great job on it God bless you guys I'm so happy for you
Can we get a update on the Porsche and Audi R8. I been watching you guys since the mustang build in your parents driveway. You guys are great to watch.
Yay, I was right. Just a tip, newer cars if you hold down the gas then turn the key it will cycle the engine and not start so you can cycle oil after a change or do compression tests without starting the motor
@@axlespeedshop3491 it’s a real thing I found out about maybe a year ago. I have a ‘15 Lincoln mkz and it worked on mine, a buddys ‘20 Subaru wrx does it along with many others. I don’t know if all do it, but most newer ones will. It doesn’t hurt to try it

My suggestion is at the end of each build series do a compressed video called “rebuilding a wrecked (blank) in 10 minutes”. Not only would those generate lots of views, but we would also like seeing a summery of the last few months of videos we’ve been watching.
Thats how hand build engine from Affalterbach at the AMG plant should sound like. AMG produces the Engine in a way, one man one Engine. I live about 40 km away. Greetings from Germany.
Dear Bros, I’m so happy for you that you’ve solved the engine issue of this beautiful and brand new looking Mercedes G63 G. Don’t understand why in the USA the model type “wagon” is added because there’s only 1 model of this car on the market. That’s why in Europe we only call it G63. It’s sold in several versions like a basic model till an AMG version and all can be delivered with V8 turbo diesel or V8 petrol engine. Thanks anyways for sharing your journey in the refit of this beautiful car. Send you love from the Netherlands
It sounds like a G Wagon now very nice congrats guys fixing it that’s one of my dream cars I’ve had a Hummer, Stealth Rt , Jeep Sahara and many more but I’m getting one one day I changed the camshaft sensors and a crankshaft sensor on my Jeep myself and changed them on my Hyundai Tucson my timing chain was stretched on my Jeep took it to the dealership for that after that engine light stayed off these car computers be messing us over sometimes too👍
