Good to see someone using factory parts.If you use aftermarket valve cover gaskets on those engines they WILL leak.You are one of the very few people who know what they are really doing.
They won't leak if done correctly. High temp grease resistant silicone. If you're not using the Mercedes sealant you HAVE to give it 24 hours to set. The Mercedes stuff sets much faster.
TheGrumpy Diabetic Sorry but you are wrong. I have been working on Mercedes for over twenty years and aftermarket valve cover gaskets DO NOT work on the M112/M113 engines. Sealant should only be applied in a few specific locations and not on the entire gasket. You are not saving money by using aftermarket gaskets. Do it right and use factory parts. They aren’t that much. If you are saying to apply sealant to the entire gasket then that is not doing it correctly. Sorry, not trying to be rude but I know that I am right on this one.
Hi, Can you please comment on what kind of silicone you used when you wre putting down the gasket? There are so many silicones by Permatex alone. Thanks.

2 spark plugs per cylinder, that's a lot of plugs to change. I've seen one of these before, but don't know anything about them... are they good engines or problematic?
Thomas EXOVCDS they are very good engines. The worst are the V12 engines, it uses two spark plugs per cylinder and the coils are one per bank of 6 cylinders, those are a nightmare!
Yes I am sorry. Sometimes the shop ask me to do other things and then when I comeback to the video. I lose the track. I am writing progress now so this won’t happen more
@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics yea, I ended up removing the op clip thing that was it and broke the bottom one... can I still use it it the bottom clip broken or do I have to buy a new intake elbow

Your the best brother I would like to see how you took apart the opposite side
I changed both valve cover gaskets and breather gaskets in an hour and a half.
TheGrumpy Diabetic excellent! Really good timing
Great info Maic. Thanks!
Baxrok2 thanks for watching my friend.
Great video👍
I have that problem currently as it leaks oil on to the hot manifold,and sure does smoke😩
What did you use to clean the coils?
Thanks for the video. Always good to see what's involved before doing it. Good job :)
If you do it out side job... Like valve cover and spark plugs.. you think how much the labor only??? Awesome job bro...

With proper maintenance they're as solid an engine as you can get.
