E55 Engine Rebuild - Part 2 (Porting & Polishing, Hydraulic lifters)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- This video was supposed to be about the crank install but the main bearings have not arrived so I decided to work on other things, to save some time for later.
This part is about porting and polishing the heads and cleaning the hydraulic lifers.

I own a w211 e55 myself.. and I must say I been following your build and channel for a while now.. always educational and a learning experience on ur channel.. makes my channel looks garbage. 😂🤣😂
Really love your videos. Not many people got the guts to do these Benz engines.
Thanks for showing how a hydraulic lifter works. First time I've seen it.
Not all hydraulic lifters work this way. These are German engineered and thus more complicated than typical ones on American engines. Plus these are overhead cam engines.
It’s soooo cool that you take all the time and effort to show and explain the in guts of ICU’s. Thank you!
Keep the e55, be different than others. There is too much evos, subarus etc. You will be unique :)
Super informative; just learned a ton about my motor. 🤘🏼
You are very good motivator for me, next year i am gonna do also engine rebuilt for sure, thanks
You are a god. I will now rebuild my engine because of your videos. Thank you so much dude if you're ever in Florida let's drink beer
Great videos, thanks for taking the time to make them.
You making this sound very simple, you are obviously highly skilled
Wow another great video, the hydraulic lifter explanation was a great addition, keep those videos coming!
So awesome! I can't wait till the day that I have the tools and the space to do these things!
Really interesting explaining the oil flow. Thanks for sharing that.
Just send it. Awesome content, very informative. Keep up the good stuff.
Good job as always ..... You give superb ideas👍👍
Very informative like always
Keep it up!
good job on the rebuild. only point of concern is that intake ports should have a slightly rough texture to help with fuel atomization. smooth, shiny intake ports cause fuel puddling.
Awesome Joe you have a citation for that? Jafromobile went pretty shiny on his ports. He's a racer too.
Maurice Searcy quick search will find a lot of science behind it.
-In fact, often within certain intake systems, the surface is intentionally textured to a degree of uniform roughness to allow for fuel deposited on the port walls to evaporate quickly, due to the increase in surface area.
Awesome Joe Sounds good. Polishing is a lot of work, and good to hear some isn't necessary. Jafromobile went very shiny on the exhaust too, and he said the reason was to reduce carbon depositing.
Maurice Searcy exhaust is a different story. Smooth and shiny is fine, when you get into high end race porting, size and shape come into play more.
Awesome Joe - Spot on. Ever has it been thus. Polish the exhaust ports but not the inlets.
Good job man
Amazing job
Great informative video ................................... missing was what tools we need to complete the task
Thanks for the video, have S55 AMG and planing work with the lifters, and having no idea how to do it, them u make the video, thank u!!
Great channel. Just subbed
how about a clk chassis .. thanks for your time.. getting to know my m113 before i need to taking a part in the future..
That moment you hear a chance of an e55 engine in a s2000 :O
Keep up the good work, it’s very entertaining and educational to watch you work and explain things, very much appreciated! The only question I have is a very concerning one, how long will I have to wait for the next upload?
Best regards!
Yeh, its been really slow. Parts should be on their way soon though. Its already been almost a month since the order. I'll try to keep working on other things if I dont get them soon
Nice port work, looks good. For awesome visuals look at veicomer on youtube. He does mostly euro heads to get a good idea on port shape for your e55. Cool lifter design! Thanks. Gotta go solid for over 8000 revs, the speed pounds the oil out and the clearance opens up. In the 90s 6800 rpm was definitely max for hydraulics.
Are you like some kind of engineer? You are very intelligent
this dude is an ENGINEER.
Keep the e 55 as your racecar
Keep the E55 in full.
The biggest gain is in matching the manifolds to the head, and the head to the manifolds. Any step will cause a lot of turbulence.
The intake should be rough so that the fuel can atomize
Hydraulic lifters and the valve window gap various from valve to valve depending on how much oil went through special if the lifters are dirty and of course you want to use synthetic oil because molecules of synthetic oil are equal to each other
Just pick up another exhaust with the cats intact and swap it in before your next inspection. No one needs to know. Then you won't have to worry about a trailer. Seems easier to swap an exhaust each year than to trailer it to every event.
You can remove the valves a lot faster using a deep end socket on a short extension on top of the valve, WHACK! it with a lump hammer and the retainers pop out and the valve drops out. You still have to use the compressor to reinstall. A Harbor Freight C clamp with some slotted conduit and a washer welded to the clam screw makes a perfect installation tool.
I'll definitely not go with any other chassis. Oh Boy here we are
Awesome rebuild videos !! Is there anyway I can get all the part # sent to me here in Atlanta, GA
Doing a complete rebuild of 2 cl55 amg engines.
what paint did you use on the block? it's really clean .
good job sir, did you do any course on automobiles despite of being a electrical engineer?
Just say it's a one way valve allowing for self adjustment.
What do you think about the secondary air injection system? It would open up a lot more space if it was removed, and would make it easier to work on the engine. Are you considering making a video on how to "delete" it, or map it out so the computers don't search for it? Thanks
VERY GOOD video ! Not to be a ass or anything...but please hush when those beautiful pieces of engineering are racing by...THE SOUND of those engines !!! :)
plastic gauge is very accurate I would not worry about it
Hydraulic lifters mainly reduce maintenance because one does not need to adjust the valve clearance, but they get clogged due to dirty oil
Great work but on supercharged or turbocharged engine Port polishing is worthless it works okay on the natural aspirated engine plus you need the bench flow table to equalize airoflow between combustion chambers and you only want to polished it exhaust port for a smooth escape exhaust gases it happens off the speed of sound literally best way to increase more power which is already enough put smaller supercharged Wheels to increase the revolution on the supercharger remap injector sequence and increase fuel pressure and of course get a racing fuel good luck thanks for the video
I have a 2003 CL500 I'm replacing my timing chain but I have an issue now the timing cover is not lining up I'd loosen up the heads you should line write up now
Want to do this when I get an oil leak from the the oil cooler nestled in the valley of the V of an M137 V12. You have to pop the heads for access to the bolts for the oil cooler. If they have to come off, then I gonna smooth some shit.
Well I hope your oil cooler holds up, but yeh probably worth doing when the heads are off anyways
SK8215 Not looking forward to it. No idea how long the seals will last. See Mercedes and other car makers put the oil cooler on the oil filter housing now.
Can you tell me what valve spring compressor on Amazon you bought?
These motors probably can't be changed to rear sump oil pans huh? I have an m113k. But need rear sump for my project.
And if you're racing I would put solid lifters instead hydraulics you're going to break engine apart anywhere from couple races then you adjust them accordingly
you should try cleaning with like mineral spitits or something, must be awful handling gasoline like that xD
You need to drop an M113k into a w209 Clk..
Get new pistons. If you want to change compression. Taking all the material out of the original piston makes them weak and unable to dissipate heat. Good luck.
Flow testing would verify your porting assumptions.
I Wonder what was the cost of all parts for this project ?
U sound like norman from office space. Exactly
Often hydralic lifters cant take as much abuse as solid ones. So if harder valvesprings higher lift cams and you run the engine at higher rpm than stock they fail
:)
Anyone have a link for m113 bearings ?
After this blew up, I'm going with something more reliable LS1 .motor
16:33 I spy James Houghton
Good video, but polishing the intake port as actually not a good idea for a modern engine, rough walls serve the purpose of making small swirls in the air to mix up a bit better with the gasoline. I´m not sure that this will make a measured difference. This used to be a very different story with older casting technology, mostly where gasket and other parts meets there would be something disrupting the airflow, than this made perfect sense.
Interesting opinion
I did read a lot about porting, there is so much misinformation and very little confirmation of it actually doing anything at all, also if you consider manufacturers will produce the most efficient engine possible, so they would polish the ports in the factory even if it made the engine spend 1% less fuel.
It is really hard to get correct information these days, at some point i went down the rabbit hole of porting, i spent 3-4 hours reading about this stuff and most of it was more belief than facts.
polishing intake ports is a big no no. fuel will pool on the walls and actually hurt the spray pattern. it has nothing to do with airflow, it's because liquids stick to mirror finished surfaces and the rough finish helps to atomize the fuel.
Fuel pooling is more of an issue on cold starts. Haven't really heard of it being an issue in racing. Even F1 cars since the early days of fuel injecting have always had smooth machined intake runners and velocity stacks. With this being a racing engine only, I dont think its going to be an issue
SK8215 fair enough, but keep in mind that f1 engines back then where n/a. forced induction is a different animal. on my rb26 I had actually seen this problem, but then again I used 1200cc injectors I doubt you will flood the m113k with that much fuel. either way keep up the work bro, i watch your videos since the pushrod suspension days. my other car is a cls55 and you truly inspire me to mod it again. steel sleeves, h beam rods and custom pistons in combination with a weistec blower is the plan.
Yeh, 1200cc is a different story. I'm at 630cc but was getting very close to the limit on them. That's an extreme plan, I know those engines built with weistec blower can put out close to 1000hp. Best of luck with it. Make sure to post some content along the way!
Pls can break these down. More speak in english. Im keen to learn on how to get this engine removed and clean them myself 🙂
It will blowout again.... Savr you 💰
3 valve SOHC? Pretty low tech for the germans. Built for torque obviously.
stop saying that the exhaust isn't as important as the intake. the intake makes torque. the exhaust makes HP. Smokey Yunick was saying that in the '80s. That manifold is a huge bottleneck. 1.75" or 1.875" headers will really wake that motor up! btw, your "porting" did little for the flow. you'd be surprised how much you can hog the ports and not see any gains without a proper valve job. hard to know unless you flow test or dyno test.
Bro. Take your parts to a machine shop for cleaning they charge like 50 bucks here in USA for a bunch of parts. they steam clean them.
