Welding A Hole In A Twin-Turbo Mercedes V12 Engine While Fully Assembled! Saving The CL65 AMG!

1. Do you think this will work? I do.

2. I’m beginning to hate my s65. 80k miles and tranny has been grated like a lemon. Mercedes should have used a different transmission. The 722.6 can’t handle the torque.

3. Love the channel and loved the grand national journey. I'm from the UK so it was a car I had never seen before and now it's safe to say I want one. Also love the fact you had some BMTH playing on the car stereo. Keep up the good work.

4. Absolutely awesome weld and welder!!!

5. It looks like there is still a small hole in it.

6. What's the oem number of rims from that black w211?

7. nothing a little dab of JBWeld could have fixed in no time. 😉

8. Strange that a "factory defect" didn't get picked up by the guys putting in hours to port and polish/regrind it originally?

9. That guy is an automotive dentist.

10. 4:24 Just like a dentist filling a cavity. Shallow, so no root canal necessary.

11. masters with craftsman ship

12. A great outcome, the problem was exactly what I thought but always best to be on the safe side and repair the head with weld, you have thousands of people out there rooting for you Alex, maybe all those prayers being said on your behalf made a difference!

13. Blaze!

14. I'm so glad i have 8 more videos in that playlist!

15. Nice repair, but I am surprised the company that ported and polished didn't fix that casting defect while at their shop.. seems like something they'd do. Perhaps you wanted to see it with your own eyes and make a good video out out it.

16. of course will work!!!

17. Funny things is, I would like to put a whole bunch of holes in my V12. With a high powered rifle. Anyone want an S600 cheap? It runs and drives good. I'm just sick of all the little issues.

18. As a aluminium welder your man did all the correct procedures to do the job
    It's got to be super super clean. I get people all the time bringing me parts covered in oil and dirt and they wounder why your charging so much 🤔
    Great video
    Glen 🇬🇧👍

19. Well done Blaine you're a real pro 👍👍

20. Glad it's fixed and am anxious to hear this engine run

21. Nice job, how much ?

22. One of the perks of living in a large city is that you have access to just about anything that you need. Master welder at your service. You were very fortunate to find him.

23. JB Weld would have been sweet 😅

24. Well a 6 year old and me have the same questions and reactions I learned today… Guys says I am going to clean this, 2 seconds later.. "What's that for"? … It cleans the metal… ah. and then after he gets done making the welding puddle. Woah, and me irl Woah

25. Great to see it resolved, amazing to see how a professional welder makes it such a stress free process, probably made it seem like nothing after all the worrying and researching you must have done before finding him!

26. where did that missing piece end up going?

27. Great job. My late father-in-law could weld like that as well. He had credentials in a book which was about 4" thick, from Hobart. TIG welding is very tricky stuff… I saw him do it and it's an art. Blane is damn good.

28. I'm so happy for you man!

29. 5:55 "Aluminum dosen't rust, it oxidates". Pretty funny because rust is oxidized iron. But to be honest, i also use to say it like that.

30. I don't know if it will fix it

31. Congratulations Alex!! This beast deserves to run and run like a champ.

    It’s a relief that pinhole was a casting defect. And not a cracked head.

    I just hope your as lucky w replacement seals. And that replacement seals are somewhat upgraded.

    Unlike the BMW vanos system. LoL. Thanks for the great video.

32. Amazing workmanship

33. Absolutely love seeing experts at their crafts. So good.

34. As we say in England it was a Piece of piss!!

35. Oh snap! I'm glad you found someone to help! And from VinWiki no doubt! Awesome! 😁

36. Like a dentist job but for an engine block.

37. This was a great watch, I felt your relief. There are welders and there are welders who have the belief to even start a job such as this.
