Mercedes Benz 320 M112 V6 Engine Maintenance / Valve Covers & Breather Hoses

Today we give a breakdown on some preventative maintenance on the M112 SOHC V6. We changed the valve gasket covers, breather covers/hose and cleaned up the engine bay.
Supplies/Parts purchased from FCP Euro!
Feel free to reach out with questions you may have, thanks for watching.
The torque spec for this M112 engine is 71 inch pounds (8 Nm) on the valve cover bolts. If you end up working on the M113 engine [V8], you will want to torque them down to 7 foot pounds (10 Nm).

Does this Engine have a slot where I can install distributor if I want to?

[@nick2128]

Did you use genuine mercedes gaskets? I bought L & R felpro gaskets but I hear genuine is the way to go . I have a 04 e320 base.

Hello. Yes i did. I ordered gaskets from FCP Euro. I ended up going back over all the bolts with a torque wrench because i was getting a small leak on my passenger side.

M5x16 bolts on small covers have to be replaced. 4NM on them and 7NM on the ones of the bigger cover. ALWAYS use a torque wrench according to the instruction papers from Mercedes…

What about this engine turbocharged?

[@apexvisiontv]

Nah it’s Naturally Aspirated. Thanks for commenting.

[@KurruptedDataYouT]

@@apexvisiontv Yes, I know its N/A.
I mean can it handle a turbocharger?

[@apexvisiontv]

Kurrupted Data honestly doubt they make something for it. Would need to be custom. Probably easier to v8 swap

[@KurruptedDataYouT]

@@apexvisiontv I want a w210 wagon and I thought a ls 4.8 swap would be difficult due to the wiring.

[@apexvisiontv]

Kurrupted Data depending on your power goals I would just look into getting the e500 v8.
