Cool! Fairly inexpensive to go the DIY engine rebuild route, especially if you have all the instructions and take a few 'courage pills' before starting. With an engine so 'old' and the replacement cost of a new engine being so high, the due diligence to overhaul it is worth it, especially when you do it yourself and address all of the shortcomings with the oil pump gasket. Looking forward to seeing your new project get started here on RUclips! Keep up the great work as always with your channel!
Dude, he keeps interchanging hundred with thousand. He said the dealer quoted him 65 thousand, then says to rebuild it himself he paid $5,000 in parts, $75 THOUSAND in total. So he paid atleast $1000 more to rebuild it himself. He would've let the dealer rebuild and added $1000 in upgrades and had a warranty. False economy. If those bearings are spun then that engine needs more pressure and volume oil so that factory pump needs addressing.
@@consciouscool He put a correction on "75 thousand".., but repeated numerous times "65 thousand" about the dealer. He even stated that the car was not worth even the quarter of that amount. So, 65'000 and 7'500 are correct values.

Thanks you for sharing this information it's always helpful even if we are not sharing the same engine but the idea is the same. Your tenacity and energy/enthusiasm facing all these issues with positive mind set is awesome. This is absolute BEAST!
Thank you for your amazing content. I can tell this channel is going to be huge. These builds are fun to watch and it’s helped me a little with my car. 👍 Thanks again
If your shell bearings have spun. then the oil feed to the journals would almost certainly be blocked /restricted . If you have any bearing shell damage then every oil passageway and oil cooler will need serious cleaning / flushing or in the case of the oil cooler replacing .
Keep up the awesome work! The project made me a little bit sad when I realized you are gonna dump the w211 chassis but, man, you are the best. This is gonna be super exciting! Wish you all the best. I wish I could subscribe to your channel twice. Btw. I miss my w211 so much :-/
I've been watching this channel avidly for a few years and love your content. I've just used your list to get prices from the dealer for a total rebuild using my 2002 ML55 engine as a donor for a damaged block in my 2003 E55. Did you source OEM parts from other outlets and if so could you give me a heads up? Looking forward to more footage involving the M113k platform.
Hey, super series of viedos. Just about to start work on my engine. Can you share the torque spec and clearance for bearinging etc or where to find file for that? I think you mentiond it on some part of the video allso.., but now cant find it at the moment.
Quite a hefty bill for rebuilding one of those in Canada. I'm looking at around 5500€ but that includes 8 custom made JE forged pistons and a bored out block at 97.5mm.
Nice, so are you going with steel sleeves after boring the block or re applying the alusil? That does seem like a long job but at least you'll get to brag your engine is an actual 5.5L
@@xfmotorsports I'm keeping the alusil. Nobody I talked to thought it was a good idea to dry sleeve this engine due to the high output. So finally I found someone who has expierience with repairing alusil bores. Mercedes, BMW and Porsche all used it in the past. He always bores them and replaces the pistons with forged JEs. He is confident the engine will be in top condition for another 150k miles. Hopefully I have my engine back next week. I took JE 2 months to produce the pistons.
@@SchepersP Yeh it is difficult finding someone to work on these engines lol. Good to hear it all worked out for you. The engine should have a long life ahead of it after all that!
@@xfmotorsports Can you please contact me at pieter.schepers ( ) gmail.com. I'm looking for a engine repair manual for the m113k but I can't find anything decent.
Too Funny Indeed sounds About Right From the Stealership 65k Canadian and you brought a engine for 2.8k Canadian. You can buy about 30 engines for 65k and have cash left over
Think about this: If you are concise and pay attention to details with photos, video, and commentary- document everything- then archive properly (burn to DVD) you will have those records permanently. It's up to you, and your documentary skills.
Really expensive, those parts, but i have done ktm duke 390 rebuilt, and that costed me 20k inr, which is around 700$ , replaced oil pump, clutch packs, piston rings, valves, tensioners, camshafts, and the important one, connrod bearing, and many parts...
It would be great in the drop down section to post a link to where you getting your information on the parts list, diagrams, etc. I bought the e manual from emanualonline.com on my 2011 C63 (not P30), but always good to find out where to look up more information.
@@bmw325ia This build was a personal one for his ASL car as it turned out, I guess it would be an astronomical bill to pay a Tech to do the work he ended up doing. Not sure if you saw it but he did a build out of 2 engines for a customer more recently, that was a good build that one.
@@AMGMANIAC right I would not want to know because he is not only a genius but has his own shop and like a hobby too. I would look into doing only if I were to win the next jackpot
Hey brother, thank you for this info. I am about to do my rebuild. Could you send me the file of part numbers and the info that you used for specs. I would greatly appreciate it. I would also like to post on my forum. Let me know . Thank you sir.
There was a core charge of $220. If I returned my old engine I could have gotten that, but knowing the value of the parts I kept a few as spares, sold a few parts and scrapped the block for $40.
Cheers for providing all the numbers for the parts prices and all the tools, this is really invaluable content for anyone that wants to get a feel of what it's like to diy stuff in the real world. Regarding the new car, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the ThomsenMotorsport channel, but that dude also built a custom tube frame car in his garage, and he's got some really detailed videos that might help with assembling your car. He builds a nice little rig for assembling his car which he says was really beneficial for welding, as you can see in the following video. ruclips.net/video/IAG-mlkYub4/видео.html
Spun bearings means oil starvation.I think you meant 65 hundred (6500) not 65 thousand (65,000) for a rebuild. If you were going to rebuild the original engine to keep resale ok but replacing with another engine, big hit on resale for that you could've gotten an engine with known milage from LKQ with a warranty much cheaper. Also you said it cost you 75,000 to rebuild, ok assuming 7500, why didn't you get the engine from the dealer for 6500. So you payed 1000 more to rebuild it yourself.
No, the dealers quoted $65,000 for what would have been a rebuilt engine because they don't supply new ones anymore. My original engine was beyond repair. And yes, the used engine and rebuild was $7,500, sorry I added an extra 0 there while reading it lol
Not gonna lie but I'd probably get an LS and turbo it rather than doing this All the parts are just so much cheaper and more available but that's just me

Phuong he’s an electrician lol
Phuong oh i didn’t realize you were kidding, i thought you were being dead serious!
He is an electrical engineer.
I would've guessed mechanical, it seems much more appropriate
Mechanical most probably , an electrical engineer cannot custom make engine parts
Just wondering if a LS would be easier? Just wondering.

An Aston Martin V12 is about 20 grand in the UK (brand new), so 65,000 for an AMG seems steep
LOL, at that engine quote from the dealer.
That look of Ford in your profile pic fits perfectly for the price quote😳
Hello. Did you have the front cover (distribution cover) from m113k that you blown up? I wanna buy it if is possible
So what name did you choose for the new project?
Lol, I have something in mind but I'll just wait till the first video on that project
hello friend ! i was wondering if you can guide me to the source for mercedes picture diagram guides please .
What are the factory ring gap specs (top and bottom comp rings)?
Do you have the ARP head bolt part number
i just got a cheap 2003 sl500. does anyone know of performance improvements i can do with its 113 engine? it does not have a compressor
Do you have any technical/mechanical background?
The first thing I'do before assembly is calibrate the torque wrench. Those things lie
Great video as usual, where did you learn all this knowledge?
would someone please post which forum the list is posted on? thanks.
I need your help to fix my r350

Can we get Google Sheets Share or something? If u give me the list ill put together something and i can send share link
Build my e55 motor please
Where in Canada do you live?
65k for engine ?
Should've put an ls in it.
$900 for piston rings?? Even if you take into account that you need 8 of them, $112.5 per set is fairly expensive...
Yea that caught my eye too.
What about disposing the scrap? Did you or do you get money for that?
There was a core charge of $220. If I returned my old engine I could have gotten that, but knowing the value of the parts I kept a few as spares, sold a few parts and scrapped the block for $40.
Kompressor wit bi turbo ?? Woww 1000hp ?
Why not LS V8? Cheaper I would guess.

65000.00?
