@xfmotorsports ! Suggestion; get a couple of old pumps from junkyard and upgrade them w ur lil parts so it would be ready in stock for locals and/or to be shipped out.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Don't think it's wise to install a junkyard part onto your vehicle. Maybe buy a new pump and sell it with the gears installed.

Yipp, I have a cls 350, I can tell you that the whining is terrible. Sounds somethings broken.

I actually like the noise on startup. It is super unique and it reminds me I have a 5.5 AMG V8.

[@glennjames9152]

I have these gears in my car.. Thank you for all the help with my build!

[@michaelbrown5601]

I love that the SEC is getting a manual. The biturbo V12 will absolutely sing! I was hoping the car’s owner would make the right choice, and likely after watching enough Zonda vids, he knew what to do. There is nothing like a Merc V12 with a manual. Good job guys and good luck with the job search Matt lol

[@rtap8170]

My S55 push button didn't work because the old owner had turned it to try to get it off. Not sure if the e55 is the same, but there are brass contacts/wires that snapped. I soldered on little wires, can't remember the gauge, there is a write up in a forum somewhere. Works like new now!

[@mjcapp2174]

Smart using the same type aluminum lobe gears used in most dry sump oil pumps.

[@prscustom2112]

CL55 here. I’m not doing the gears, but I’ll definitely be replacing the oil pickup tube and oil level sensor o-rings IMMEDIATELY.

[@freezee7547]

Man, I just want to see XF Motorsport guy made milling for m115 SLR bottom end assembly including with dry sump oil system to fit every m113/k engine code for better performance. Also his f1 style V8 m113 from s500 engine should also fitted with SLR m115 bottom end with dry sump system in it for higher revving tuneup!

[@Mikea6972]

Clean engine means the owner does oil changes often. That's the key for not having issues on any car. Period!

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Good idea to change arm's as Mercedes is difficult to detect ball failure and I have seen detached ball joint.

[@kbcarroll]

I'm torn between how amazing this ingenuity is and how much this was a non issue once the car is 2 degrees warmer.

[@GabeNarwhal]

Mby in Cali. But in the winter up north it can take forever for the engine to warm up from way below freezing. Wonder how this pump work in those conditions.

[@lukerichardgraham6791]

Nah, my m272 makes a noise throughout whether its warm or not

[@kbcarroll]

@@lukerichardgraham6791 and an m272 isn't anywhere near the same engine as an m113

[@azargelin]

My car use to make the noise all the time although not as loud as the start

[@1one3_Racing]

Its not a heat issue. It's a prime issue. Once the gears prime they don't make the noise. It just takes a second for them to self lubricate.

[@paulneate2349]

Another great video, thank you for your commitment to improving my E55 and keeping it in the best shape possible.

[@bobgodd]

If the switch and the contacts are good, I'd look into the remote for keyless go. There's a remote behind the ash tray for this, perhaps it's gone on the fritz.

[@ronmower3694]

Do u have any of these for sale as I just got my oil pump out for the new oil ring, great channel and congratulations on ur new land

[@rexpontiusful]

Wow I want these oil pump gears for my SLK55! It has the whine and it drives me nuts

[@alexs9495]

To make it even easier to install the new gears you could add some small allignment grooves to the gears just like when putting on a timing gear.

[@douglassenriquez423]

I can't find the list of gaskets needed to do this job? You had stated that you would post some links to the gaskets needed to do this in the description...... Can you please do that.

[@mangler313]

The start button wire breaks down where the shifter pivots. Some videos on u tube on this issue. My car had the same problem just extended the wire and soldered the wire and presto the button works again.

[@stevebez9556]

Sounds good … how do you know the oil pressure of the new gears vs the old ones?

[@einfelder8262]

These are scavenger gears, nothing to do with oil pressure.

Will these gears work in a m112?

Aside the M113/K, will these gear lobes work with the M112?

[@CLVannoy]

🔥🔥🔥

[@martinsvensson6884]

How did you know if it would deliver the same pressure then? Doesnt it increase the pulse effect also with fewer cogs?

[@emmajacobs5575]

I think he went through this in an earlier video explaining the development of the new lobes. If I remember rightly, the replacement part is only one stage (the scavenge part) of a multi-stage pump so there’s no detriment to the output pressure/flow

[@martinsvensson6884]

@@emmajacobs5575 Alright, thanks.

[@vdgggame]

I like the Original start up sound

[@suddendilemma5137]

It’s not the button. It’s in the wiring inside the shifter. I had to fix this on my E55. Every time you put it in gear the wire has to bend 90 degree. Take the shifter out of the car, use a heat gun to heat the soften the glue and use a razor blade on some pliers to cut the glue open and take the top off of the shifter. Once its open you’ll see the broken wire. I used phone cord wire (multi strand designed to flex) and re-routed the wire out the side of the shifter vs the hole its routed through and soldered it place. On re assembly there are actually 4 screw holes where the shifter was designed to be bolted together but for some reason they glued it. Throw some plastic screws back in there for easier fixing next time and off you go.

[@xfmotorsports]

Thanks for letting me know! Will check next time

[@suddendilemma5137]

@@xfmotorsports for sure man. Sorry for the crappy post. I was in a hurry when I typed it, quite a number of typos and such. But yeah open it up and you’ll see what I’m talking about. There is no way that the wires are not going to break over time the way the factory set it up. Just no way. The wire is routed through a drilled hole and it has to bend across that hole almost 90 degrees every time the car is put in gear. It’s insane. I hate to wear a tinfoil hat and say it’s a designed flaw. But when you see something designed like that. Then they glue the shifter housing body together when they could have used screws so a fella could service the thing. Well it sure makes one wonder.
