Thanks a million times, I once fixed Head gaskets thinking that there were the source of the problem. I am much more informed/educated now after watching your video. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[@davidmenjivar9738]

Thank you so much... I replacing the water pump and so the O RINGS... because the engine started to leak antifreeze... God bless

My 55 is doin the same thing I thought it would be a head gasket issue but this video is putting me at ease

[@LynxStarAuto]

The heads still need to come off if you want to do it right by. The head gasket extends to the front timing cover gasket. Separating the two, and not replacing the head gasket is ghetto, and a sure fire way to develop problems down the long haul.

tq bro for this video.. i can diy for this problem..end no oil n water mix again..tq so much.. 😘😘

[@Anditover]

The oil heat exchange can also perforate, letting oil enter the cooling system. Which can make you worry that you may have a dodgy cylinder head gasket. Luckily its located on the front of the engine, and is easyish to swap over. It includes the oil filter assembly.

During installtion of the timing cover, can you please explain the procedures you followed to make sure the head gasket was not wrinkled ? Did you have to remove the upper oil pan ?

Do you the part number for the O-Rings?

[@niltonniehues9309]

Esse motor usa válvula PCV ? Se tiver onde fica?

I was told not to wash my Mercedes V6 engine in my E320 with degreaser because of the engine metal used by Mercedes it reacts with degreaser and makes it brittle ? Is that true ?

[@israelballew4155]

No, I have no idea who said that, but they have no clue what they are talking about. These engines are aluminium just like all other modern engines. Not some magic fairytail metal.

@@israelballew4155 ok thank you for that info

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Yes , valve covers and intake are made of Magnesium alloy. This is light weight , but brittle and easy to corrode.

Where in Europe are u ?

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Using the correct blue Mercedes coolant would help prevent this problem.

Классное у вас видео. Его должны увидеть миллионы. А чтобы их действительно увидело очень много народу, могу посоветовать спеца. Его ватсап в моём имени.

Excellent presentation. However I don't understand why you changed those 2 gaskets in the Timing Cover. You mentioned that the in the Timing Cover compartment there's less pressure than in the combustion chamber. I agree to that, but, then, you having oil in the coolant, you should have changed the head gaskets. Why I m saying this? Because oil goes to water, not the other way around! And oil goes from the higher pressure into the coolant! Don't understand which indicator showed you is the two gaskets in the Oil Timing Belt Compartment into the Coolant! Once again, your video is TOP, only this indicator question

[@noobigernoobnoob7507]

maybe you should watch the video again and look what they wrote in the texts

[@LynxStarAuto]

The guy doesn't speak English as his primary language, so the video does a poor job explaining it. What happens to these engines is similar to what happens to some Ford V6 engines... The timing cover is also the mounting plate for the water pump. What this means is that coolant passes through the timing cover into the engine via some ports at the front of the block where the timing chain is located. These ports use a rubber gasket which seals the timing cover to the engine block, and with time, this gasket fails and coolant will leak into the crankcase from here.

Narration....

[@AdamAus85]

It's funny that on such a stout engine I am able to find so many connectors that break way too easy if you so much as look at them. Really weird period for Mercedes.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Not weird at all. This is all cars for a better part of two decades now. The more plastic they use, the more parts that are brittle and break.

[@AdamAus85]

@@LynxStarAuto Well I don't know about that buddy. Plastics quality between the BMW and Mercedes of the time vary I believe. My E39 connector plastics are all stout and don't easily break.

How many miles on that m112?
