Thanks, glad you found it useful!

i would also want to know that

That's true, and the cotter pin trick is one that I've seen on another person's video some years back. That, too, is a very good way to do it. The new 2023 primer system is even better. I've got the Pro 6000 that has it, and the new 2023 Pro 1000's also have it. Looking forward to trying the new Pro 1000's version, also.

It's possible. Whatever the case, if there's a vacuum leak, you definitely would need to fix that. I've seen vacuum leaks cause all sorts of subtle problems.

Glad that it's still helping! I hope to do some videos on the new, 2023-updated, version of the Pro 1000 soon.

@@sfliberal that would be great. Thanks in advance

The slight gurgling is apparently not an issue. The slight ticking sound was valve lifters, which I replaced. We figured out that the oil pressure is actually fine on this car, but I checked out the strainer just to be sure. The connection is in the front of the engine, per this video. ruclips.net/video/uBeLLtg0yaE/видео.html This is the process that I used. Worked pretty well.

My c43 amg does that yes they have a ton of torque.

Fair question. It's because of the powder that I happen to be using here, which is Alliant 2400. Turns out that Alliant 2400 does not require magnum primers to ignite well, and my loads with this combination are very consistent. I have successfully used standard SPP's from CCI, Federal, Remington, Winchester, Fiocchi, and Murom ("Wolf" or "Tulammo"), all with excellent results. However, were I to use H110 or W296, I most definitely would use only magnum primers. Same goes with the new variant of H110/W296, called Accurate 11FS (for "Flash Suppressant"). Note that you can also use magnum primers with Alliant 2400 with no problems whatsoever. Lyman's Reloading Manual lists their 2400 loads with magnum primers, specifically CCI 550's.

You definitely need the engine module wired up, which it is. That's the cable harness that you see in the back, by the air intake. The gearbox, i. e. the transmission, is still in the car, and no, it does not need to be attached to the engine.

@@sfliberal i have a 2004 m112 clk 320 and want to put engine in a diffrent body, do i need to just take the wiring harness and closest silver box to the engine? lol please any help would be much appreciated, thanks

I replaced the valve lifters on the right-hand side. Turns out that did the trick.

Thanks, and I'm sure glad the videos helped! Actually, I had to reference one of the videos just this week when cleaning the .44 Spl press. Goes to show, when you share, you benefit as well.

Just use the car's own engine wiring harness and a second 12V battery for the starter motor. That's how we did it.

Yes, I still do, and I'm glad the videos helped! Turns out what you're seeing with .38 Special is directly applicable to .357 Magnum as well. The only major difference will be the powder charge, since .38 and .357 use the same bullets. I don't mind if you ask questions; plenty of people have helped me...but I hardly consider myself an "expert". :-)

Yeah, it does sound pretty cool, doesn't it? :-) It really is a very solid engine.

@@sfliberal true because I have a w220 with this engine (s55 swap on s320 but the non supercharged one) and it had over 400k miles now and still runs very smoothly

@@timevscars Oh, you have the naturally aspirated AMG engine? I've heard of 300,000 miles on them, but not 400,000. Yours is quite a testament to the durability of these engines. I'll bet your car is quite fast, indeed, with that 5.4L engine. I had, in fact, considered that very engine for this project car. Since it was my first engine swap, I stuck with the same engine, just to be extra safe. However, we are considering that swap for a later project, so thank you for your description as well.

@@sfliberal just an idea for your next project, it could be m113 swapped w140 s class or w124 e class because I saw some people did it

Hadn't considered that; I was always concerned about the WD-40 getting into the priming mechanism. How do you avoid that problem?

@Cowboy T clean with cotton wool and compressed air afterwards. Little bit of WD40 left over don't really hurt any.

You've got a job ahead of you. The best thing for you to do is get a copy of WIS and start studying. That's how I did it.

Thanks for having a look. There's a slight ticking sound, sounds kinda like a tappet, but I've replaced the entire valve rocker arm assembly with a known good one. It only shows up once the engine is up to temperature. Since I've done the valve rocker arm assembly, I thought it might be oil pressure.

@@sfliberal Most of these M113's did have some ticking when hot but it was never anything to worry about and never caused any issues. That oil pressure looks fine.

@@bicylindrico That seems to be the consensus on BenzWorld as well, so that's good to learn. The car does drive very well. I appreciate your taking a look, thanks.

@@sfliberal One thing that helped me was to understand that the oil film strength provides all the protection. The oil pressure just makes sure it's always there. An engine doesn't need much oil pressure while it's not under load.

@@bicylindrico That does make sense. Just to be safe, I have taken off the lower oil pump and am making sure the oil straner (pickup) is clean. I'm also going to take a look under there to see if anything else looks amiss. Maybe I'm just chasing a ghost here, but this is also helping me to learn more about these engines.

and yes I still have all my Lee presses

@@garykane7354 Hi Gary, and I'm glad to learn of your apparent Lee success! I need to make time to make some more reloading videos. Can you give me some more details about what you see happening here with the engine?

Glad it was helpful! I know that Lee has some new gear out, but the principles of the Pro 1000 hopefully will still apply to even the new Pro 4000. My twin Pro 1000's are still going strong.

I know your question was rhetorical, but I believe it deserves addressing just the same. That's kinda the point of America, the open, free, and civilized exchange of ideas. The danger is very clear when you have a government that can step in "for the good of the people". That tool needs to be managed by the people very wisely, and as a people, I would submit that we have been less than wise overall with a lot of our choices at the ballot box, over many years. We are getting the government that we deserve, unfortunately...BUT...it remains in our power to fix this. But We ,The People need to actually do so. The politicians in power and their talking heads on various media outlets seem to want Us, The People to forget that and just follow them like they're the Pied Piper. That's not what America is supposed to be about, and our form of government works only if we do *our* jobs, too.

@@sfliberal We are assuming that the most recent US Presidential election was completely above board. We are both well aware that there is a sizeable body of opinion which, right or wrong, holds otherwise. But I agree with your general premise, and without reservation about the media. I think they are now getting to the point where what they say is becoming so internally inconsistent that the man behind the curtain is now visible.

@@Ensign_Cthulhu The Emperor indeed wears no clothes rather often, eh? 🙂 My wife is a Conservative. On her advice, I read Mark Levin's book, "Unfreedom of the Press". Yes, I'm actually willing to read "those other folks", too, not just my own "tribe". :-) While I obviously won't share all of Mr. Levin's beliefs, as I read the book, I found myself thinking, "yeah, check....yeah, check there.....yeah, he's got a point there, too.....HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" And these are things I've been noticing myself for some years now. I consider it not just unfortunate, but outright dangerous, that news rooms are politically aligned with Party platforms instead of simply reporting the news like C-SPAN does. I'm a big C-SPAN fan for just this reason; Brian Lamb is a national treasure, and far more people calling themselves "journalistss" or "newscasters" need to take a cue from Mr. Lamb. The way he called out the Congress for refusing to publish the debates on the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") was right on point. He didn't advocate for or against the bill itself. Rather, he chastized Congress for refusing to publish the debates on the bill openly so that We, The People could make a much more informed choice for ourselves, come Election Day. Congress was so shamed that they changed their stance and published the debates, which C-SPAN was glad to cover. *THAT*, my friend, is a journalist. How come Anderson Cooper and all the rest of them weren't out there doing what Brian Lamb was doing?

While I don't share that particular view, I can understand why you believe so, given the current direction of the Democratic Party. I would argue that the Democrats are not Liberals and haven't been for some years now. If Liberals like myself are now somehow "well over on the right wing" at this point, then we are in a difficult period, indeed!

@@sfliberal I would completely agree with your opinion of the Democrats. The word "Liberal" has been grossly misappropriated. Meanwhile, I would beg leave to argue that your viewpoints are freely embraced by the sane centre-right, which is why I chose to say what I did.

Thanks--I missed being on. Turns out I was the victim of Internet censorship and my Web sites got taken down. They're back up now...and this time, there's no Web hosting company to take 'em down! Back on Twitter as well, thanks to Elon Musk restoring some sanity to that platform.

Thanks! The engine seems to be pretty happy. Unfortunately, the rear differential is shot, so a new one is on the way. This is definitely a project car! :-)

Thanks, I appreciate it. Next up will be to make sure everything--all seals, gaskets, etc.--is squared away before installation. Will also deal with the 4Matic-specific bits now since it's easier with the engine out. Thank you again for your example with the V12.

Here's the update, with the engine installed in the S500. ruclips.net/video/gOME0HqrokM/видео.html

Thanks! While it's out, I'll do all the hoses, gaskets, the rear main seal, and switch out the lower and upper oil pans from the 2WD version to the 4Matic version.

You're quite welcome, George, and thanks for the feedback. That's a good idea, a video on the dies. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to do, but such a vid still could be helpful. As for the camera operator...we got married just under two years ago. :-)

Hmm...what makes you assume I voted for Feinstein and Pelosi?

Oh, I'm far bigger than that--ask my wife! :-)

Thanks--Mrs. B.H.C. also says, "aww, thank you!"

Thanks! Definitely good to be back. Next episode is already planned out and outlined. :-)

Thanks! Keep up the good reloading work--next episode coming soon.

Thanks, and yep, we are *definitely* back.

Thanks, it's good to be back! More stuff to come...soon.

Thanks! It won't be the last, I assure you.

Thanks, and it has been far too long. More coming soon. The 2A is a right, not a privilege!

You know, I really should, huh? That's a very good idea, especially with the ammunition shortage...and thanks for the suggestion!

You're quite welcome, Eric. Hopefully it helps!

No, you're thinking of Democrats/"progressives". An actual liberal, such as myself, cannot support gun control, and there's no way of getting around that. That's why I had to change my own views on gun control. I would think, with a name like "Captain Revolver", that you would agree with my decision. BTW, revolvers do rock!

@@sfliberal who did you vote for? Did you vote for Obama, Clinton, Biden, Newsom, Harris, or Feinstein?

@@captainrevolver6998 Heh...who I voted for is my own personal business, but I can tell you that since waking up to the Second Amendment 12 years ago, I have not voted for a Democrat since. So, basically, nobody in your list.

Glad the video was helpful! This applies to all aluminum moulds, and I even found it helpful with MiHec's custom brass moulds. The 12GA models make shooting slugs affordable. You might also check out Lee's buckshot models. I've done the 00-Buck and 000-Buck, the former for 12GA and the latter for .410, and they do work pretty well. From a Liberal to a NeoConservative: we all should be wary of our government officials and vote accordingly. We are not as far apart as media people and our politicians would have us believe. They just don't want us to remember that.
