TIMELAPSE: Mercedes Benz W126 Engine Teardown: M116, 3.8L V8

- Опубліковано 2 жов 2019
- This engine is from my 1981 Mercedes 380SEL I purchased on ebay for $330. The seller told me not to drive it until I replaced the timing chain guides. Well, I never had time to mess with the car before I moved. So the rusty car car was picked clean of its good parts and scrapped in a previous video, but I still have this engine sitting in my garage.
This 3.8L V8 producing a laughable by today’s standards 155 HP. The early 80’s were tough times. Nobody locally wants anything to do with this motor and its Bosch Jetronic mechanical fuel injection, but I know these parts will sell on ebay. So today I’m going to disassemble the entire thing… in about 9 minutes. I find the pieces of a broken timing chain guide, as well as a cracked oil pump. Otherwise, the engine looks great for having 124k miles.

As the owner of a Mercedes 380 SEC, I found that interesting. When compared to a 1963 Chevrolet 283 2bl V8, The Mercedes motor is over complex.And in Australia, where I'm from, the 380 put out 207 hp. European pollution gear and super grade leaded fuel.
Thanks! Yeah, the US never gets the good stuff from overseas.
Thing was clean inside
Built to last
Great video. Thanks for recording it.
Best engines ever bult
Masterful
thanks for this video mate! 😊
No problem 👍
Das ist sehr interessant
Great video, thanks :) Any idea to hone the linings and indicate the crankshaft? was the engine just put together afterwards, with the oil pump replaced?
This engine was sold for parts and never reassembled.
Hahah No way I just bought your Upper Oil Pan from Ebay, I realized it cause you left the gasket on in the video
Ha that's awesome - small world huh? Enjoy your internet famous upper oil pan, it has 10k views so far!
@@6thGearGarage Yep just from your Local SoCal 😎
Great video, I need to replace the oil pump, but I don’t have a lower oil pan I have to take it all off by removing sub frame 😞
That's no fun!
@@6thGearGarage Yeah I decide to replace the oil pan with one from a 380sel
hi very good video. I would like to know how or where you bought the engine w126 because I have a mercedes 380 sec which does not work the engine that has. thank you very much.
Hi, this engine came in a 1981 380SEL that I bought for $330 because it had been sitting outside for years. After going through the car, I decided it was worth more as parts than trying to fix and repair. ua-cam.com/video/ustQ2YoBM9U/v-deo.html
I would take the whole engine
What Bolts did you use to hold engine on Holder, I know it’s Class 8.8 Bolts but don’t know length and width?
Matthew Vasquez it’s been so long I can’t remember, but I know I had to go to the hardware store to get them because the engine-trans bolts didn’t work
@@6thGearGarage really, I was just gonna take one of the bolts from transmission to engine and find one that matched
Matthew Vasquez yeah it was the length that was the problem, but I can’t remember if they were too long or too short. Probably too short or else I would have put a stack of washers on the bolt.
The so-called laughable engine HP on this engine measured by today's fakeHP standards where the engine is stripped and on a stand (rather than fully dressed and at the rear wheels as checked in the 70s and 80s... would be more than double probably close to triple the old school ratings
155 HP? My M116 3,5 engine from 1972 has 205 HP
US emissions killed HP. EU always got better engines.
The 3.0L six from the 80’s makes more power than this v8
The later model engines had milder cams too. the early M116s were the cammiest of the M116/7s. With cams and ignition timing you can get more power out of these. The next wall is the intake manifold. Shame he scrapped it. It would have been a cool build.
@@ibast1 how many years would it take to learn how to rebuild an engine like this?
@@alexanderstevens145 nothing special about it. There's workshop manuals. If you've rebuilt any other engine you can do these. Only trick is the Alusil bores.
6th gear garage, thanks to this time lapse. How is this project? I have a question, do you have a manual for rebuilding that engine? If so, could you email me, mikebrozio@gmail.com please? I have doubts, regarding the assembly process of the heads, and tightening. Thank you.
Sorry, I do not.
@@6thGearGarage A Toyota manual for a Benz m116 engine? 🤔🤔
