I think the older gentleman with the white hat is the master mechanic. Hats off to these guys. 🇺🇸
There are more elegant ways of rebuilding this motor (Checking tolerances and machining the surfaces) however, for what they had, they did a pretty good job.
Not many can restore A Mercedes V 10 Engine , using only basic tools. These guys are mechanical engineers. Hats off to these Guys.
Absolutely! It takes a special kind of skill and knowledge to restore a Mercedes V10 Engine with just basic tools. These guys are true mechanical wizards, showcasing their expertise and ingenuity in every turn of the wrench. Hats off to their dedication and craftsmanship! 🛠️🎩
Да ты гонишь. Они всё перемешали, все детали весь крепёж. Они его добили.
I hope you are trolling
@@pssa3215 Certainly. You have to tear your hands off for this kind of work.
@@Levencon this engine won't last 100 miles if you don't realize it 😬
Huge respect to those high end mechanics! Greets from Poland🇵🇱. V10 Benz sounds great
Thank you so much for the huge respect and greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱🙌 Our mechanics truly appreciate it! 🛠️🌟 And we're thrilled you enjoyed the V10 Benz's magnificent roar! 🚗💨 Greetings back to you from our team! 👋😊
those smiles, happy faces when the engine roars back to life are priceless. respect for these hardworking incredible craftsmen 🇵🇭
Indeed, the smiles and happiness when the engine revives reflect universal sentiments of accomplishment and pride. It's heartwarming to see these hardworking craftsmen evoke admiration and respect from viewers worldwide, including from the Philippines. Their dedication and skill transcend borders, serving as an inspiration to aspiring craftsmen everywhere. Kudos to these incredible craftsmen from Afghanistan, and greetings to the commenter from the Philippines! 🇦🇫🇵🇭🔧👍
I have done to many rebuilds to even remember. These guys are amazing. Not because they can rebuild an engine but because they can rebuild this engine from a pile of parts after they wash it and the thing run sweet thumbs up to you guys hello from Connecticut, USA.
I think they clean the parts that are still good but they do replace what has to be replaced, I also noticed that they put new Sleeves on it
Not the pistons
It amazes me how these guys take engines apart with rudimentary tools along the side of the road in the dirt and remember where all the little nuts and bolts go and make that engine purr like a kitten!…I liked when the old guy came to do the reassembly with the young fellas and checked the clearance on the crank mains…teaching the young fellas!..and they all worked so hard at it!..there was no less than two guys on that engine at any given time and there was at least a half a dozen most of the time…I was glad to see they actually used a torque wrench when torquing the mains down…although I’m not sure if it would matter much because it looked like they reused the main and head bolts…anyways they did a great job!!
It's truly remarkable, isn't it? These mechanics are like wizards, working their magic with nothing but basic tools and a whole lot of skill. And seeing the older generation passing down their knowledge to the younger ones adds an extra layer of heartwarming camaraderie to the mix. Plus, their diligence in using a torque wrench shows their commitment to doing the job right, even with reused bolts. All in all, they've done an amazing job, and their dedication shines through in every purring engine they produce! 🔧🌟
Да они просто отвафлили его

@@nasilemak868 💯
You always know a good engine builder when they spend the time to take measurements. I think he used plastigauge to check the mains which is an inexpensive but highly effect method. My respect to these guys !
Ma sha Allah, assalaamu aleykum from brothers in Azerbaijan!
Wa alaykumu salaam! 🌟 Thank you so much for the warm greetings from Azerbaijan, brothers! 🇦🇿 We appreciate your kind words and support! 🙏 Sending blessings your way! 🕌💫
I’m digging those OSHA approved sandals they all are rockin lol but seriously they tore that thing apart and put it back together like nothing and then fired that puppy right up nice job 👍
Masters of their trade! That V10 sounded SO sweeeeeet!
Absolutely! 🌟 Our mechanics are true masters of their trade, and that V10 sound? Pure music to our ears! 🎶🔧 Thanks for appreciating their skills and enjoying the sweet symphony of that engine! 🚗💨

You know when the starter guy makes an appearance, it's getting close. I love how the grizzled old master takes over assembly. Engine sounds good.👍
I am impressed, that engine sounds sweet! Well done to those men.
I love these people. Even though they have limited support they are able to do the job.
Miraculously (with these tools and workplace) the engine sounds nice. Would be nice to see how the crankshaft was repaired.
Hopes and dreams mostly
I gues they weld some new metal around it and cut it to size on a lathe.
I'm sure it is within the tolerances of the Mercedes manual.............nah.
Overall, looked legit
They changed it, it wont be saved
very good work. the engine runs very nicely 👍👍 Greetings from Germany
Vielen Dank! It's always a pleasure to receive greetings from the homeland of precision engineering. With a German engine running smoothly, it's like music to the ears! Here's to craftsmanship that transcends borders. Prost from across the miles! 🇩🇪👍👍
Vielleicht wenn man die Umstände sieht. Ansonsten sieht eine Motorenüberholung anders aus. Einige Teile würden nicht wieder verbaut werden. Auch wird ein Motor in ein Gestell eingehängt. Alles sehr sehr abenteuerlich ....
just imagine if they had all the tools we had in the western world but I do not think it would make any difference and they look happy enough in fact I admire them nobody is sitting on the phone or laptop nobody is watching the clock wish we could go back to all of this
ima send my motor to them to get rebuilt I don't care if its outside in the dirt they know what their doing big props to them!!!!
Мое уважение немецким инженерам и немецким рабочим, сделавшим двигатель, который работает даже после переборки в таких условиях.
Судя по их одежде температура у них опустилась до + 20, а моторы из серии ОМ очень надежные.
Ну по сути они ничего такого не сделали. +- в россии так же на каленке ремонт проводят. У них все четко и по правилам. Даже динамометрическим ключом затягивают. Гильзы новые. Ваще четкие парни.
@@Dzuba4 ага, особенно забивание пальца поршня молотком было по правилам :) вылет гильзы померить - не, такого в правилах нет :) Тыщ 300 такому двиглу ходить )
Да не спорю что многие моменты не сделаны, но я думаю им проще вот так на коленке перебирать каждые 200-300 тыс. Чем ремонтировать за дохулирд денег и по времени долго. @@sapachevtruckdriver6916
@@Dzuba4 ага на всех виде по ремонту двигателей что мерина что скании затяжка проходит в 2 этапа сперва тянут да опрелделенного момента затем маркер и доворот на 90 гр, где замеры колена микрометром?
эти движки делались как раз только для такого ремонта - и живут от капиталки до капиталки.. а парням мастерам респект!
22:38 I always boil my pistons over an open fire while adding just the right amount of seasoning !!!!!!!!!! They are super tender and very tasty......but I NEVER thought of cooking them in an solvent oil can for better flavor. I will give that a try next time. This channel is WAY better than any Gordon Ramsay site!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only a jealous or a racist person can make such a comment. That was bicarbonate soda to help cleaning the rust . They are a real men but you not 😅
Allah bless you. I want to work with you, I am from Algeria 🇩🇿.
I’m hoping these guys put an AMG plaque on it at the end with all of their names.
ahahahhahah
Yes!! Very well said....
Hard work and graft mixed with team work ! No fancy gadgets and gear :) respect
These guys have been teached thru generations, so this is just like a walk in the park.. Good job 👏
only afghans can do so much with so little. lots of respect from an amateur mechanic in USA
Glad to hear that
My Respect for this great Teamwork!
These are iconic engines when you see these people with minimum tools being able to repair it.
Well done great job. Especially given the set up. 👍
Did you see any power tools,think what they could do with power tools,thry are the best on this planet bar none.😮
Who needs power tools when you've got the sheer force of determination and elbow grease?
I myself not a car mecanic, buyed Mercedes from the sixties/seventies because i know, i am able to repair mostly anything by myself with a set of standard tools.
уф,показалось,думал всё пропало, ключ приобрели ,динамометрический, ан нет смотрю, просто трещётка)

Nice one you guys" watched that many full truck re builds where it looks impossible to make good a right off first time watching a engine rebuild ' bloody hell your attention to getting it right is first class a lot of main dealers couldn't work to your standards outside like you do everyday.Massive respect from Robin Hood country Nottingham England
Best comment i have read so far, these guys really did pay attention to detail, no grit or dirt any where and well lubricated WOW craftsmen at their best
Amazing skills in an unusual setting. Cheers from New Zealand 👊💪🇳🇿
amazing skills really? What you see is fun video? Think about it, you see pure slaves working for food. This will not have a happy end.
Glad they showed it start up and run
Absolutely! Seeing the engine start up and run after the meticulous rebuilding process is incredibly satisfying. It's the moment of truth that validates all the hard work and attention to detail put into the restoration. Not only does it provide reassurance that the engine is in good working condition, but it also offers a glimpse of its potential performance. Hearing the roar of the engine coming to life is a testament to the skill and expertise of the mechanics involved.
These people are real mechanics
respects from brazil
This guys are proffesional - instead sandals have shoes 😉👍
Master builder is a pro. i bet he made hundreds of rebuilds.
That is not a big thing, if you have 200 pre-1979 DB Trucks on scrapyard.
