I can not stress enough how important this is for any 1970 to 1991 V8 M116 or M117 engine. Seen too many blown engines. YOU CAN do this yourself: Here's the link mercedessource...

Another excellent and informative video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the invaluable tips and kits.
So Randy at Auto Auction Rebuilds and Monkey Wrench Mike told us about you on one of the collaboration videos. Just subscribed.
I remember reading a buyer's guide on these, which was emphasising that a bottom end rebuild would be very expensive: you've said the same...any particular reason it's so? Is it just parts cost, or is it complexity? Or both...😂

Both parts and labor. It is very time consuming so if you do it yourself it is a different story. The bottom ends of these engines are tough. Short of major oil change negect the only lower ends I have seen fail is due to valve train failure.

My w116 had that engine. I sent it to the salvage yard because I didn't know what I had.
