Mercedes Benz DB 605 Aircraft Engine Part 2 "IT'S ALIVE!!"
Mercedes Benz DB 605 A1 Aircraft Engine Part 2.
This engine was made at the Mercedes Benz factory in Berlin in 1942. Later that year it was shot down by a Spitfire in Belgium. Displacement: 35.7 litres, 1 gallon of petrol per minute, 1475 horse power, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel injection, supercharger, all aluminium and magnesium construction. 1 horse power per pound weight.
Sports cars didn't make these advancements in their engines until the 1980s!!
This engine is 99% original and is the only operating one in the world with the same parts as the day it was shot down. It is important to preserve this engine as we won the war.

Please visit our Crowdfunder page for further information or to make a donation. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/restoring-mercedes-benz-db-605-a-1-aircraft-engine Our team needs to source the parts to finish the engine and then to get it ground running. We then will be taking it to shows across the UK to raise money for the Royal British Legion. This will be the only Daimler Benz DB 605 engine ground runn...
Wonderful!
Valve train uses roller lifters, like the Allison engine. The Merlin used friction pads on the lifters.
Why was the DB-605 regarded as a 'sick engine' by Luftwaffe personnel, compared to the DB-601?
Class
How much does one cost db605?
I hope you are oiling that engine because even running it slow without oiling it will case a lot of wear on the bearing surfaces and cylinders and gears. I see no oil being used. 😣
Every part of the engine is lubricated with the correct oil for this engine.
@@HubertBrownKerr-ic9xn thanks god and thank you for doing it
👍
👍
This engine facinates me as the oil management to keep it out of the valvetrain seems impossible in my feeble mind! Gravity is a law, dammit!
Excellent work! What an achievement. I was at the Battle of Britain Airshow last month and the only thing that might perhaps have been missing was the real DB-601 engine sound. The Rolls Royce Merlin reigned supreme, even in the Bf-109s (Hispano Ha-112)! When these engines were originally made during the war, Germany was unable to obtain many of the strategic ores they needed to build the high temperature alloys required for such a high performance engine. For example although they knew how to make them, they were unable to make nitrided exhaust valves or bearings from more optimal metals. This put them at a significant disadvantage compared to the Allied inline aero engines which were built from metals accessed from the entire British Empire and the USA. I'm wondering if your are you restoring this engine with the original but less than ideal components, like chromium plated exhaust valves (and anticipating frequent overhauls) or are you substituting original components with newer ones made from more optimal alloys? I guess this goes to the very heart of what an authentic restoration actually is. Nevertheless - well done, especially if you can get it into the air!
Thanks you for your very knowledgeable comments the engine parts are all original world war 2 production we feel it is more important to be completely original although not air worthy then to use high performance modern metals.
@@jamesbrownkerr4214 It's quite remarkable how Daimler-Benz, Jumo and BMW produced such cutting edge engines despite lacking metals needed for high temperature alloys and the ongoing problems with high octane equivalent fuel like C2. Had Germany's aerospace and power plant engineers been in charge of the war they might well have won. More likely they would have been smart enough to avoid it entirely. Much of what I knew about these engines since I was a kid was revised and vastly corrected by Calum Douglas' book 'The Secret Horsepower Race' 2nd Ed., 2020. Since you are restoring these historic engines, I imagine you already know it. Thank you fr your efforts. History is important for people to know and understand how we got here from the past, including military aviation history. Putin and Trump/MAGA are salutary examples of what can happen happen when people don't know enough history to recognize what's happening in the present. Great work. Thanks again!
Awesome, well done!
Thanks😊
Nice! When can we see it running? 🙃
Soon 🥹
Sweet. Keep them comimg
Thank you, your very kind
Just curious since its an aero engine, how much does it weigh as it is...??✈
There are a number of flying DB605s so must be a source of flight-worthy parts. If you're not going to fly it, well . . . no need for
Technically this engine would run but to fly fifty percent of the parts have to be made again and this is for safety reasons and I feel the engine is a time machine and should be touched
Well, what parts are there still missing???
Ok, than its an evil engine!!!???🤔🧐😃
If that engine was shot down by a Spitfire in Belgium in 1942, how on earth did it make it so intact?...obviously, it's been cleaned and painted, but one would think the impact with the ground would have busted it up very badly, and if it stayed outside for decades, the steel and iron parts would have been very badly rusted, and the aluminum and magnesium parts corroded beyond recognition...
The engine was put in dry storage and covered in thick oil the con rods ,gears ,pistons , crankshaft and crankshaft mounts have the same number on them as the engine block .It is one off the most original DB 605 engine in the world a true survivor
The plane could have been shot down, but it doesn't always automatically mean he went nose down, could also have had rough belly landing in a field, would't be the only one....
please tell me, will the piston of this engine fit the engine of my W210 2.7 cdi?😆 (this is a joke about the reliability of old Mercedes-Benz)
We didn't know the war to drive the Mercedes Benz 😂
Motor Cannone.......
Excellent moi!!✈️💪🌠💫
Really good video going to a great cause!
Amazing video! Love the engine!!!
