Hey uh on the hood hinges you can push a clip that’s look like a button and that will help you on working on the car because it allows the hood to stand straight up instead off have it at an acute angle,,,, but definitely keep posting new videos I’ve been watching all of them I have a 95 e420 that was crash and I’ve been fixing it got it running but having its fair shares of problems
On the hood hinges where the hood is connected you’ll see where the bolts are you should see another piece of it sticking out it’s almost like a button but you push it on both sides and it’s allows the hood fold all the way back straight up , I was watching the vid and was just think why you didn’t do that but you learn something new about these cars every time you mess with hem
The reason the hood isn't in service position is because even with the grille removed, the hood would hit the garage door when the garage door is open. I had the car on jack stands to get under it so it was sitting higher than normal which made it worse.
It really depends on how you remove the engine. Because I did it with the engine and transmission together, I had to remove the radiator, AC condenser, and fans. One line from the AC compressor attaches to the condenser. If you remove the transmission from the bottom, then the engine straight up, you might not need the clearance that I needed.
Hi. Could you please tell me what is the maximum mileage these engines can go without a rebuild? Mine has got 270000km and have no problems so far. I am thinking of doing the chain replacement cause I don't have any records that it has been replaced. Thanks
I have heard that the M119 can go pretty far without major engine work. These two engines do not back up that statement though. The original engine has 102k miles and has a blown head gasket. The junk yard engine is supposed to have 92k miles on it and the timing chain guides were toast and mostly broken. That being said, I do not have complete service history for either engine. The junk yard engine coming apart looks good on the inside. Seems that the metal components are holding up quite well despite the major issues with the plastic components. If you've made it 270k km without major issues that's impressive. If there's nothing wrong with your engine and you service it regularly then I wouldn't touch it unless I had to. It's like dominoes, as soon as you touch one thing then you'll have to keep going until the entire engine is apart. Which is what happened to the junk yard engine. It all started with wanting to replace the valve cover gasket. It all went south from there haha.
I am currently removing my M119 engine from a ‘94 E420 which was my daily driver. It had 320,000 miles on original timing chain and most original chain rails. Older chain rails fractured and got beneath the chain and intake cam shaft got out of time. Still I was impressed by the life. Didn’t leak and didn’t use oil.
Nah I still would have had to to get the engine and transmission over the radiator support. Had I separated the engine and transmission first I could have lifted the engine almost straight up.
Hello my engine keeps getting hot we changed everything radiator water pump thermostat we also tested for blown head gaskets and no it's not the case what else is making my engine hot 1992 s500 sel
A few other things could be causing it to get hot. Fan clutch not engaging could do it. Insufficient flow from the oil pump could do it as well. Especially if the timing guides are coming apart and chunks have clogged the oil pick up. Missing the fan shroud could also contribute to over heating. When does it get hot? When moving or when idling? Or both?
@@topollillo4274 you have the fans on the very front and the mechanical fan attached to the engine. The electric fans increase speed as the temperature rises? Do you have the trim around the fan attached to the engine installed?
Hello Sir, 1. Great videos , m119 videos are hard to come by. So thanks ! 2. I have a 1998 sl500 , blown head gasket and possible piston rings (oil on spark plugs) do you do rebuilds ? Whare some options for me , any advice is appreciated !
1. You're very welcome! 2. I've only rebuilt this one engine. The used engine place I ordered it from said the compression was good so I didn't go as far as taking the pistons out. I would definitely check your compression before tearing it apart. Then you'd have to figure out if the time to money ratio is acceptable. If you can find a good used engine, that would be the quickest and cheapest. A rebuild would take the most time and be expensive. I've found rebuilt M119 engines online for about $11k. Doing it yourself with parts from a dealership would be about $10k in parts. But you could run into my situation, I bought a used engine and found out it needed to be rebuilt.

Love watching your m119 videos, it will definitely help me out doing my m119 engine overhaul!
Thank you! Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
@@FriendlyMBTech thank you and I will for sure, I'm Tesla tech also if you have any questions please reach out and feel free to ask!!!

@@FriendlyMBTech ohhhh ok understandable
Lol - Hate when the cracks fight you but Impressive! I always forget to plug when the picker will travel. :)
Good job
Question: Could I keep the Freon charged by removing the compressor and laying it to the side before lifting the engine?

@@FriendlyMBTech Thanks a lot for your reply. All the best with this new engine you are planning to put in. I will continue watching.

@@joewestfall2952 Thanks mate. That is impressive mileage👍🏻
If you would have taken the hood off you would not need to tilt the motor.
Nah I still would have had to to get the engine and transmission over the radiator support. Had I separated the engine and transmission first I could have lifted the engine almost straight up.
Hey man this helps me out a lot. I will be pulling my engine and tranny this weekend. I’m parting the car out. If u need any parts let me know. Thanks
@@markkatalnikov2091 If I need anything, I'll let you know for sure, thank you.
@@FriendlyMBTech ok no prob

@@FriendlyMBTech idling takes a good 20 minutes for the temperature to start going up fans turn on the fan clutch is also new
@@topollillo4274 is your fan shroud on?
@@FriendlyMBTech yes and they increase speed as the temperature rises
@@topollillo4274 you have the fans on the very front and the mechanical fan attached to the engine. The electric fans increase speed as the temperature rises? Do you have the trim around the fan attached to the engine installed?
nobody told you the hood opens up 90 degrees?
Yeah, several comments down. What you can't see is the garage door preventing me from opening the hood that far.
