With enough time, this channel will be Legit Street Engines
Hey Don't Give him more ideas 😁
HA!
Good
Im waiting for legit K swap channel.
Better start buying more merch!!! These AMG engines don't grow on trees!
Alex’s in-depth knowledge of MB power plants is amazing. His work ethic and sheer enthusiasm for anything automotive are equally impressive. Good luck finishing the build!
Why is one of those oil pans coated (black) and the others just bare metal (grey)?
@@chrismason6857 i have the same doubt
@@chrismason6857 I think you want to ask this question of Alex and not me. Typically, aluminum oil pans have a baked on black finish on the inside, but I thought MB oil pans were steel with powder coating.
Single-handedly, one of the most well produced video of a high-tech engine, build on TH-cam! I’m almost scared to ask what the combined man hours are between you and rusty. And what kind of money you have in parts! Incredible job!👍
If you want to see really detailed videos on these engines go to the channel of Tasos Moschatos- he is a master engine builder.
@@skeetamacgyver1821 I second this.
Why is one of those oil pans coated (black) and the others just bare metal (grey)?
Do you think I'll make it home?
Yes because you are the best!
You got this Alex the amount of certain no hopers you have have got back to chicago this one won't defeat you...... Time to watch and find out! Big love from the U.K.
It's a Mercedes sure with a capital S
Offcoarse, it’s a mercedes👍🏻 can you explain why mercedes v8’s sound different than any v8?
Yes forsure
Dude, this engine is looking wicked! Glad a real expert like yourself is doing it justice but PLEASE get some sleep man. Sleep is crazy important, especially before you head back, take care bud!
Seconded. The last thing anyone wants is you driving off the road due to fatigue.
Another Great time with Alex! Thank you so much for allowing us to be apart of this giveaway! We are excited for the winner of this Amazing C63! Hand-built by the best guys I know! Thanks for all the support from the Legitstreetcars community! We appreciate everything! -Craig
You guys rock! Thanks for being awesome and can't wait for our next project!
Alex, keep up the great work. I ran across your channel about 2 yrs ago at my deployed location. You and a couple other TH-camrs inspired me to get wrenching again. I’m a 21 year soon to be retired USAF vet taking care of my mom who has stage 4 cancer. I’ve got some projects myself and very enjoyable and time consuming. Just wanted to say you’re a straight forward guy. Great content!
unbelievable, you and the people working with you do go the extra mile. thank you.
Legendary DIY guy - most dealerships couldn't pull off what you're doing.
Alex isn’t a DIY guy
Dealerships don't want to do it, they rather sell you a new car
@@trentryan27 Huh?
Hard to call Alex a DIY guy, dude went to technical schooling for this, has a decade of Mercedes A tech dealership experience and was still working on municipal fleet stuff before TH-cam.
Dealerships can do this. Trust me
What's your favorite AMG Car?

Thanks again Alex for another great video. You make this stuff look so easy. You also inspire confidence that I could do it myself.
Absolutely love the detail! This is what most other channels miss. Engine builds are by far the most interesting car stuff I love to watch!
God bless you for being the person that loves their job, which is working on pain in the ass engines. It's also weird not having Peter around and making you taste try things.
I miss Peter too. He'll be back next week!
Alex! Is that legit?? Almost 900 subs?! YES SIR!! Keep er goin
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!
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
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.
Producing and selling new stuff is what keeps your revenues up, not the upkeep of old products.
ummm….modern engines making more than 500hp their factories are ALL complicated.
If you have never owned one, driven it at speed…umm, nuff said?
BTW…CTS-V motors, Vette motors, Hell Cat motors….ummm don’t even think Honda, Acura or Lexus offer these ho numbers from their engines which are also complicated….
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.
Alex is at his best, and so is his content, when working on a Mercedes. Things get even better when it’s an AMG model!
Oh man this is the car I've been waiting for..lol. I really love this car and I'm really interested in it coming back to life!
Love your never give up attitude definitely the best car channel on TH-cam just keep doing what you’re doing.
Best Reality Show for motor heads I have seen for a while, please just keep being yourselves.
I've been waiting quite a while to see new updates on this one I absolutely love it. And I have faith that you will make it home within no problems
I am glad to see you're finally getting closer to getting this done. I can't wait for you to drive this monster home. Looking forward to seeing how that trip goes
We love these long videos where you get straight to work and making it entertaining🤝
Awesome video! Love your applied skills, energy, and dedication to what it is that you're doing. Not to mention your community service. You are head and shoulders above any other automotive channel that I'm aware of! Don't burn yourself out!!
I love watching these video and I’ve even started working on cars myself because of it, even when I’m depressed and feeling down I can always look at his videos and learn something, continue to do what you are doing and thank you for helping me
Appreciate your patience when things go awry! I would have lost my sh*T at least once during the multi engine process!
I've been waiting soooooo long for this video. I am on pins and needles to see how this build ends and who the lucky winner would be. Great job guys. This is my favorite channel by far.
I'm an OG with a 97 E320 I call her dimples due to hail damage but I would love to have entered this contest for this beautiful M 156. I love how you explain things and make them so much more interesting.
Perfect listening material to get through the work day. Thank you as always!
Love the show, have you ever considered doing a viewer's car? I would love for you to get your hands on my project. Keep up the good work 👏
Glad to see you're working on Mercedes again!
It's why I came to his channel in the first place.
Alex, you amaze me with your engine knowledge and how you take care of all the nuances involved with these engines. Very entertaining for a guy with no engine knowledge.
Thanks for taking such good care of my future car!!

1st
Absolutely 💯
Its this options work for Mercedeses
if only the carly was actually useful, i have 3 cars, the vw it can code stuff but my saturn i can't even read a code and my jeep it could only see 1/8 codes i have
Yea after sleepin it off😂
I keep my fingers crossed every time you post about this car, it’s such a great looking vehicle, it’s just a shame about how much not good luck you have with it. I’ll keep watching hoping you find a good engine for it soon, without wasting any more money
Love the cut at the crank stretch bolt install before final 90 degree. Cut cut! Just edit that out let's call that good.
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.
Nice Job! Excited to see it back in the car and to see what you guys do with tuning. I will say I would have upgraded those cam adjuster bolts though. One stretched pretty easily on me when I tried reusing the hardware first time.
But aren’t all the stretch spec bolts NOT to be reused?
@@shakeydavesr definitely not supposed to
I may not have a chance of winning, but to see someone put this much effort back into a vehicle. Definitely makes me want to enter.
Here's the last video on this car! Its done! th-cam.com/video/6pUx7oC2f0A/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant work Alex and Rusty. Loving it!!
Mid-week mid-day content, RIP the work I needed to get done, today
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!
At least it isn't a BMW engine with their seals that fail prematurely and rod bearings that are a maintenance item...
Nobody ever lets the shit properly set-up before they just go to torquing the parts either....
I thought so too, but you can see the inside of the pan after he installs it, the bead doesn't seem to squeeze out as much as I thought it would so it should be fine. I guess they wiped it down to a thin enough layer.
Good job guys. Love what you do. It's inspiring!
Been waiting for this thanks guys! All this work and no sleep .
Wow setting the timing on that motor is AMAZINGLY simple!! Hondas aren't terrible but man they are annoying! Oh well
I honestly love these videos. Thanks for doing what you do, it makes a long day of work worthwhile.
i love the attention you put in re-installing these parts...
Should be fun installing and finding out about the other problems it may or may not have. Thanks a lot of work for ya but I’m glad to watch 😊
I love seeing you working on your first loves, the mighty AMGs.
Amazing job, as usual Alex! This car is amazing as well and with the fixed engine it will be a blast!
Hi Alex, you nearly wacked the hell out of Rusty with that harmonic ballancer. :)) Love this model of car and even that engine with all it's, let's call them quirqs and not faults. :))
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
Love watching these videos cause their so informational at times and nice to watch
Great engine build can't wait to see the rest of the build!!
Yes been waiting for the follow-up on this one!
Hey, been watching since the beginning of the series !!! love this and it’s my attainable dream car . love the german muscle . These cars were just the beginning and set the standard of a super sedan
I'm glad that you finally found you a better engine
good job guys, very impressed with your knowledge and passion!! Mercedes parts didn't use to wear out back in the day!!
God bless,
Great video Alex!!!!! Glad you will be able to get that beauty home.
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.
What a time for a fire alarm 😆, Great work Alex and Rusty. Brilliant content.
Man you’re such a legend. Love seeing car channels where you know how to do everything with a car.
The smiles on you guys are priceless Alex! Another well done video and thank you for making my day. Never owned an MB but I do love NA engines, there's just nothing that compares to the old school style. I'll be entering for sure and hope I'll be the lucky guy. Great job as always Alex👍🏼
Lots of work, even more Knowledge! Thanks for sharing!
Definitely one of my dream cars, nothing more satisfying than a job well done.
LOVE THIS CONTENT! Thanks Alex, what a great video!
I can’t wait for the first start! Really nice assembly work, you guys are surgical.👍
This video was so legitimate! Learned a lot, Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Alex and the crew. Real nice to see you guys fixing up my future car!
Awesome video Alex. Well done for getting to this stage on very little sleep!
Keep up Alex! I’m from România and I love your channel, every night when i’m upset or sad you make me forget about everything! Thank you🙏🏼
Brilliant video series. I love the continuity 🎉
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
Thank you for a really insightful build.
Excited to see the trip home.
There's some serious torque going, in und aus this Engine🤣😂💪💪
Thank you for this episode, this is the only car i wanted to watch till finished
Enjoyed the magic. A great video in spite of the lack of restful sleep. Thank you.
I love this dudes passion and drive. That's one reason this channel has taken off like it has.
welldone guys , another class video , luv these AMG beasts engine builds
"The torque wrench that Jesus used" had me cracking up. Nice job on the build!
You inspire me Brother. That’s why I decide to change my channel over to my cars and I actually did some repairs on my E63s once I’m out of time out I will post it.
Alex’s journey with getting this thing back in action required more miles than the replacement engine had on the odometer….how’s hat for irony. That thing is a beast of a ride for sure when all is working. Another fun LSC escapade.
Im really happy to see you finally get an engine that was not grenaded! Im also happy to see that you are taking care of all the service issues up front for the new owner. Because we all know the person that wins the thing will never properly service it.
Have you ever done a video on a head replacement on a 2004 MB SLK230 SC? I'm trying to do my own buy would really like your advice and / or tutorial... your skills are unmatched on Mercedes-Benz!!! Thanks for GREAT VIDEOS!
I was waiting for this part of the AMG journey, continue🎉
Amazing content as always, Alex, thanks! Had a really great time watching this and I don't even own an MB, but an old X beemer
Amsoil and FCP, great minds think alike!!!! I can’t wait to this Benz running around driving!!!!
Patiently waiting on any of your vidz from sunny South Africa ty Alex!
This is the best car channel on TH-cam!! Good job Alex !!
My sons c300 was totaled in a blizzard thankfully he ended up ok! This is his dream car which he is working his ass off to attain! Love the channel watch like and share comments constantly! If you see this post by chance know a 20yo young man would love and appreciate/care for this car!
very good vid alex. great to see you guys work together, good bunch of guys. just did a head on my m156 w211
Your buddy is a beast. He finished the torque on that crank bolt like a boss.
Great video Alex! Will have to look at the Carly scanner too.
Fantastic work Alex!
Phenomenal vid bro! Subscribed 👊
Alex, your German is like my Italian, very good 😊😉
That was a very good video. Thanks Alex!
My old school torque wrench from my grandfather is two sided. It has 1/2" on one side and 3/8" on the other side.
I have a decent 1/2" torque wrench for critical nuts and bolts and then I have a full set of Harbor Freight torque wrenches. I have the 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4".
