What is the number of the stamps? please help
Hello John, super video j'essaye de voir ou ce trouve le numéro de moteur sur ce moteur car nous le recherchons sur mon modèle de 1985
grey with black and red and black and white go where? Someone messed around under the hood of this peoject car. You go too fast and I'm trying to follow where things go. I found one that goes under the throttle body connected to nowhere. I also have a shifting issue.
Hello John do you still have the 3 D file spec for the tool and if so can I get a copy of it. Thank you
Hello John, I have a 1983 380SL, and I just developed a leak above the water pump behind the water pump housing, if you were to look at the top of the water pump between the two upper bolts on the vertical flange (under and just left of the upper short water pump hose), there is a very small hole in the vertical flange. Coolant immediately leaks out of that very small hole and empties all the coolant. I thought the problem was leak in the upper short water pump hose, watched a youtube video on replacing that. But that isnt the problem. Now I think maybe its the water pump gasket has just worn away. 200K+ miles on the car. I understand the water pump replacement and new water pump gasket is a big job, far beyond my expertise. Will plugiing that little tiny hole with epoxy work or help ? Thxs in advance for your wisdom. Stu
is your tensioner a Genuine Mercedes Benz part or the Febi Brand?
Hi John, Did you do anything with the block, pistons, or bearings?
Nope, all looked good so I left it.
Hello John, what an amazing tool, do you know if it fits for an 560SL 1987?
I assume yes but the measurements might be different
Did you put new helicoil for the cylinder head bolts?
I didn’t as it was not needed
That’s exactly why I looked at this video and is my question as well
Thank you John for your videos and advices you giaved to others. I found it very helpful.
really helpfull. Thanks!
What is the typical maintenance repair costs on a 380SL from the 80s? Are these cars worth getting into as a non-investment classic?
So, is the engine back in?
Yes. I drove it all summer.
I appreciate you taking the time to record this… It’ll be very helpful to me. Here is what I’m dealing with: th-cam.com/video/zquouYUwq0k/w-d-xo.html
How on Earth do you get the front cover on without buggering the headgaskets?
Oil pan, crank pulley have to come off first. Then pull back the cover and move slow. If it tears, pull the heads and do it right.
@@johnriexinger6654 I got it off easy enough, but it's getting it back on that's causing me grief.
@@PentaxEnthusiast it did for me too! I had to hold it up using two thin pieces of metal against the head. Then I put a couple of bolts to the front cover as a leader and drawer it in.
Also, be careful that you don’t get any of the RTV silicone anywhere it should be.
@@jriexinger Ahh, makes sense. I'll need to see if I've got some thin sheet metal handy for that reason. 10-4 on the RTV, as well. Have to admit I hate working with the stuff.
Hey John, which year is your 380? I got an 82. I would love to compare few things. You are welcome to come and take a look. Are you going to see Ontario Pagoda (w113) master?
Feel free to email me first name.last name gmail
John, I would love to have that tool. Are you in the GTA?
John, I missed that. I have the iPad with me now. Can we do it again?
First name dot last name at gmail
What happened?
all fit fine and went back in the same way they came out
Did a few if those timing chain/ gears/ guide replacements, while the motor was in the car. Just a day at work back then, kind of a pain, but not bad.
Hi how can I contact you
Email me john.riexinger@gmail
What do you need?
Pretty nifty tool. I don’t have a 3D printer so the 118 bucks was the cheaper route for me
I will mail you one if you need it. Or I will give you the file so you can print at the library.
@@johnriexinger6654 thanks John, but I bought the tool month ago and can’t return it now
@@inovahightechltd Can you provide the exact measurements, maybe I can make a copy incase others need it.
@@inovahightechltd It started up!!! now I have to go back and check the elements.
Hi John, looking good, MB has a tool to determine the correct thickness for the shims. I keep my fingers crossed
I think I will have to buy it and looking at the price of the smaller shims, I hope I will not need to buy any.
@@johnriexinger6654 Hi John, I believe there is 5 thickness shims - normally after the head is rebuilt you use the one in the middle to start out with. The tool will then tell you to go one size higher or lower. On my head I have 16 shims which are all the middle one and I would have to look it up but I think that’s 5mm shims. The biggest wear I have is on the exhaust shims which measured all between 4.75 to 4.86 mm This tells me that my head was rebuilt about 125,000 to 150,000 miles ago. This was app around 2007 and done by Mercedes Benz of Los Angles. This also means I have to rebuild my head again in another 25,000 miles or so. The timing chain guides were replaced about 35,000 miles ago by the previous owner and so was the chain and tensioner. The chain and tensioner were Febi and both went out last year (2021) in the summer and I replaced both with MB parts - I will do the tensioner rails next when I correct my timing offset of 2 crank angle degrees with an offset woodruff key from MB
This is awesome! Looking forward to seeing it turn over for the first time.
Hi John, since you asked, I am not sure of what the MB gaskets look like for the 3.8 looks like but on the 5.6 they look quite different as they have an integrated need of silicone on them. And I pushed the injector cups all the way down before I put the injectors in. This is not clear in the video if you pushed the cups all the way in or not. Otherwise it’s looking good 👍🏻
Thank you so much Peter. There was no specified requirement for silicon that I saw. Where was the silicone required, I took lots of pictures so I can easily reference. I will also double check the cups to ensure they are seated. Did you happen to see the other videos as of yet? If you want the raw video footage for your channel I can provide it to you if you would like to use it as well.
