Taking apart more of my Mercedes V12 engine! | Project SL600 ep. 3

[@brianhoefer7148]

7:32 Snap-on has a tool for everything. Currently doing all this on the 98 SL600 I purchased nine months ago with 99768 miles and AMG pkg with the glass top for "only" $9k. Engine leaks, Suspension leaks, soft top hydraulics leak, front bumper is a crappy-fit fiberglass copy and a used OEM original online is about $1200.00 before repaint. At least I can do all the work needed.

Well done, I applaud both your skills and your determination!

Fearless determination!

Thanks you’re an inspiration. I was warned off buying a V12 because my mechanic friend at Mercedes Benz World told me that as the cars are old the parts are brittle and can break and there’s two of everything. I settled on a 95 V8 which I had to replace the throttle actuator because it kept throwing up a fault with the asr. Good luck

Thanks! Yeah the whole point of this video is to show that the M120-powered SL's are not that bad to maintain.

Well done. You're in deep so no going back now! I have a 97 SL600 so plucking up the courage to dive in soon, after learning from the trail-blazers such as yourself.

I've been enjoying every moment while working on this car! It's so enjoyable to work on. Since it's not my daily driver, I can take all the time I need - no need to rush through things. You'll enjoy jumping into yours too.
