The 2nd First Start Of My Twin-Turbo Mercedes V12 Engine Went HORRIBLY WRONG. Here’s What Happened.

2. Let’s get this thing going

3. What if you hear a ticking? What could it be?

4. Jeez man, this thing has fought you all the way!

5. Keep going

6. Nice one

7. Love the channel man keep it up

8. That start up was a serious cliff hanger. I felt that one👍🏾

9. If I was there I wouldn't have let you put the old injectors in

10. I admire your nerves to deal with this!
    I used to build cars myself not only engines, I would spot weld and fix body parts as well.
    I built CLK 63 Black under 25k and sold it for 85K in 2 months.

11. Typical of german cars….these are extremely over engineered…very unreliable and a money wasting pit…

12. talking about Sci Fi , have you seen the new Dune movie?

13. You are good speaker, awesome

14. Great series! Thx for taking us on the journey with all the ups and downs.

15. Such a fine example how human mind get's fixed to something ,which should be fed back to the German designers with spoon. And the spoon also 😀

16. This must be why it costs so much to service one of these 15:49 🙂

17. Awesome

18. You inspire me to do minimal work on my ML55 thank god for you Alex… 😺

19. Whew! You are da man!

20. How much did the diagnostic computer cost you? Guessing it's an ebay buy that WILL connect to the mercedes dealer network? Or is it a stand alone? Also, any chance one of your buddies has the ABC accumulator/pulsation damper that bolts to the engine (aluminum can) with a line coming out? Mine is leaking like a sieve (cracked). I could shoot you a photo of it, but you can't post pics on replies here. THANKS! Btw my CL600 has 130k miles, has a WEIRD 7 rib serpentine belt (not 6 rib like the dealer says it has) and cost me a whopping 850 bucks at an auction in Phoenix. Fired it up and set a new record from PHX to OKC, nine hours flat. WIth 3 15 minute fuel stops (got a whopping 7.5 MPG) She's currently down for the abc leak and a supposedly bad cam angle sensor (said Bank 0, replaced it (the one UNDER the intake manifold) and it's still running on 6 in limp mode. Wanted to replace the crank sensor too but it's buried under a water pipe that runs right over the top of it. I DID get my abc working before the leak started though (it was sacked on all 4 corners and my LF and RR shocks bleed down but the other 2 stay up. I just want to get it to RUN! Also my radio failed and now the car kills the battery within 8 hours. Always something with this car, but it's pretty fun (Not the TT being a 2002)

21. Awsome!!!!

22. 16:30 glad your efforts paid off! Sounds great!

23. I suspect MB repurposed a massive U-Boat engine

24. Nice one man. I actually had anxiety as you prepared to start it finally lol

25. What are you lubricating the injector seals with?

26. Just slap an LS engine and called a Day man

27. The 112 downvotes are from BMW owners.

28. For the first time i see alex super exhausted, alex go home get some sleep ride your c63 and get back to v12

29. Did the fuel get into the oil? I guess it's too late to matter

30. Man, I'm glad it started up fine because Alex put so much time and effort into this build, and more than anything, you can see how stressed he was in this video. Thank God it seems well, so far.👍👍👍💞

31. finish it already
