What Clogged My AMG Oil Pump??

- Monkey Wrench Mike may have discovered the reason his S55 AMG was starved for oil and broke a valve spring. In this video he shows you how to drop an oil pan and inspect the oil pump.

The oilmixture in the pan shows oil-water agglomorates. That means water is getting into the oil. You should have pressurized the water tank while the pan was off. This shows you where the water leaks down. Is it headgasket or front timing cover seals.
Other thing, the oil cooler will be clogged as well.
Oil pan looks like the grease pit at korean bbq after a long night.
Mike, that was sooooo gross man!!! Omg I almost got sick 😷
It felt gross too!
I’d only replace the spring that spring
Agreed. Could probably swap the spring by pressurizing the cylinder with air and the valves closed
Is she still your girlfriend?
You should be at 50 or 100k subscribers by now. You have one of the best channels out there.
You could pimp Lola out to get more followers. Just kidding.
Since that oil looked that bad I'd say you need to put some cleaners in your oil to clean all the nooks and crannies up in the engine. I'd of taken the pump off to make sure nothing is stuck further up in there.
Lola on youtube. Sounds good. She can tell shaggy dog stories and give advice on training your human. Happy New Year from Brisbane Australia.
My advice: if you do one spring, you SHOULD do them all on both sides. Check lifters and the guy is Alex from @legitstreetcars.
change all the springs on the head where the problem was. I would pull the other valve cover and inspect the springs on that head. if they appear good button up the engine put cheap oil and engine flush. then run the engine for at least 15 minutes, then fresh oil and filter. cross your fingers and click your heels together twice. and have a happy new year and we will catch your videos in 2021.
Mike is going down on the s55!! #upskirt 😂
🤣😂
Nice to see a video again Mike! Happy New Year!
Mike! Glad to see you back - hope you had a great Christmas. Keep up the great work.
Good to see you Mike, hope you had a good christmas and i wish you and Lola a happy new year
Perfect explanation !!! Thanks man!!!
I’m late but I’m here!!
Great video, happy new years
Great video Mike
Great video, always enjoy them all. Happy holidays
wish you a happy new & better one then this last year Mike. stay safe take care.
Great Progress mike.. Happy New Year.. Stay Safe..
I like the pan up and pan down cuts.
Are you sure about not taking the oil pump off? It that came out of the pickup, what might be in the pump?
100% agree. Follow the gunk until it no longer shows up.
No telling how far it has travelled.
Nice job, no wonder it wasn’t getting any oil. Happy new year.👍❤️🚘🚙
You taught me something by using the cardboard for bolt placements. Thank you!
So happy that you have finally (fingers crossed) got to the bottom of the oil problem. Now all you have to do is get her running the way she should.
Really enjoyed the video Mike, I'm just surprised you don't have more subscribers than you have at the moment.👍
Good progress, continue cleaning from the top down, make sure all oil ports are clear, on both sides of the engine, change only one spring, soak the top with fresh oil for a day then start, it should run ok.
That oil plug in your pump and oil pan is the worst I've ever seen. Good work again Mike.
Hey Mike, you will get there in the end !! Enjoying the vids you do 👌🏼 keep it up dude !!
Happy new year 🎉2021 Lola n Monkey Wrench Mike!!!
Amazing video Mike! We don't care about PC culture keep that Mike humor up!
BTW that in the engine oil is an oil-antifreeze emulsion.
Keep up with the long videos. That’s was very entertaining and best video so far . 👍
Loving the Videos as always. Personally I would just try replacing the one spring and see but I am not an expert. Happy New Year from England.
Happy New year Mike.
Mike I was screaming at the screen remove the pump lol. They are known for this . Been a subscriber from the beginning . Thank the lord you did that 👍🏻
Hope you had a amazing Christmas Mike that oil was gross lol.Wishing you a great New Year hope all goes well with the AMG love your videos. Rob from Ontario Canada..
Only one spring. Happy new year Mike
Earl in Mi happy new year and I think you should at take that oil pump off and check it out and clean it
I was in suspense all week waiting to see this! I am so glad you checked out the pan and cleaned everything out. I sincerely hope that "is" the problem. The video indicates that coolant mixed with your oil. It's still scary looking at this. Lola is just a ham. Maybe the next video will be tomorrow? Promise?
Glad to see Lola supervising this operation again! I think you need to be tested after touching whatever that was in the oil pump! I'd hate to think of the Monkey Wrench Virus spreading across CZcams!!!!! lol. I'd consider doing all the springs. But I guess as a test you can do the one and see what happens. Then after that maybe Randy will sell you his AMG!!!!!
That oil pan and oil pump was gross let’s hope now that you’ve clean it out that it will fix the oil issue. And I would just replace the one spring for now to save money and then if it fixes the tapping then replace the rest of the springs. Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
You might want to check the oil cooler also. It could have split inside from moisture and freezing.
Good job Mike! Hopefully that was your oil circulation problem. Now time for some springy's !!
I enjoy watching your videos, interesting content with this engine. I can't see how the engine will turn out okay after having run probably quite a bit with water mixed in with the oil and something at least partially clogging the oil pump. There are like someone else mentioned seals in the timing cover that start to leak coolant into the engine oil.
Think I would replace just the one spring and see what happens before replacing anymore of them. Can't wait for the next episode of, "As the Benz turns."
Hope there is no more of that “frog crap” in the oil pump or anywhere else in the motor. Enjoyed the video👍👍
No room under there for the pan to move. Mike I know everyone jumps to head gasket, but that oil ain’t right at all. Can’t wait to see the inside of that oil pan.
I would recommend doing engine flush with liqui molly engine flush, new oil and oil filter for few days. Just to be sure that the sludge if any left wil fall in the oil pan.
Afterwards take the oil pan out and clean it thoroughly, than it should be done.
Very satisfying finding exactly what is causing the oil starvation and luckily it looks like the oil pump should be good. I am still not sure if that valve is bent or not but it is definitely worth trying the one spring. Not sure if you should do the rest. Maybe if its cheap enough and relatively easy to do then that will be be a sign to do as many as you can
After fixing the spring I think you should do an engine flush, just in case.
yes engine flush should be done and not once but twice with cheapest oil spec for the engine to not waste premium quality oil
@@dragos2010full1 he can use a special detergent to flush the engine. No need for oil.
Hope you had a great Christmas 🎄 and I hope that takes care of the milkshake issues but I am a little bit skeptical. I did have a car years ago that had similar issue but found out it was the oil I was using the detergents were breaking down used different oil and filter and problem went away , I think the ticking will have to be addressed.
Change out all of the springs 🙋♂️👍
Looks that pan might have been off before too! There's that dried old silicone on edges. Could that thing be old exessive silicone that earlier mechanic has left in there..?
Nice long vid!👍 Just do the one spring and if it’s dry on that side throw some assembly lube in there for good measure before firing it up:)
Dang, Mike, you keep doing those milkshakes that bring us subscribers back to a new video!
Great work and your relentless effort will get this solved.
Milkshake or not (I really don't want one), I'm still waiting with bated breath for the end result and I'll stay tuned!
Episode XVII: Lola fixes the car while Mike sleeps ...
All springs on one side. Never do just one. If you're in there, do them all.
The loogie in the oil is the copper from a radiator/coolant sealant. The nasty bit in the pump looks like part of a low grade oil filter, either the cork washer or perhaps some crappy paper bits.
That oil pump crap that came out looked like an alien symbiote
I would love to see you and Randy do a video together. You guys are really funny together
Back in the 60s & 70s, we use to run about a quart of kerosene with 3 quarts of oil for about 15 minutes then drain to desludge an engine. It helped clean out the oil ports as well. I am not sure if the newer cars could handle it.
yup, put oil in and try it, what you got to lose. Happy New Year!
Love the mood on this channel, laugh at lot😂
This AMG needs a little fixing, nasty🤔
Thank you!!
Mike. You're getting there, don't give up, we count on you. ;-) Let's cross fingers. Good luck.
I want to be like Mike! Oops, wrong Mike! MWM keep up the great vids. Lola rules!
nice eagles song in the backround
Chrysler has the same silicone. Its pretty good stuff.
Remove sump tube and clean out .
Hey Mike, i would do all the valve springs on both sides. Greetings from Spain!
It almost looks like it had coolant in it at some point, or something, Liked vid, hopefully this fixed that issue
2021 is going to be amg year for you Mike 😉
Is that a Yorkshire T-Shirt I see you wearing...impeccable taste
Yes! A gift from a viewer
hello, what spray do you use to clean the pump? hugs from Brazil✌🏻🇧🇷
Hey MAGIC MIKE..I have been following RANDY..On his channel..So HI from the county of SURREY ENGLAND..U most definitely have a thing..For MERCEDES BENZ..Well done with the PAN..PETER or otherwise..Sorry old schooled and old fashioned guy..
Thanks Andrew!!
Oil coagulation- we had a 2003 CTS that had a small crack in its block and it was always missing a little coolant in between oil changes. The oil and coolant never looked bad. Near the end of its warranty it coagulated enough to clog the oil pickup tube and wow it sounded like a Diesel engine but it didn’t start throwing rods until we got to Cadillac. They said they had never seen anything like it so they sent some of the blob to be tested. It consisted of oil and coolant. You could send the blobby stuff to a lab to be tested so you know for sure if it is coolant or metal contamination. ProjectFarm on YT uses a lab and I can’t remember the name of the lab. Cadillac replaced the engine.
It looks like water in the oil. My w124 did that to me in the beginning of the year. (it pop the head gasket).
The last time I saw that colour fluid coming out of something I had to take a sample to the Doctor's 😲, seeing what came out of your oil pump should you not have sent it off to have it checked out, after all it could have been a new life form👽🍌🛸. So spring is coming early for you Mike (dad joke) cross fingers. Happy New Year buttercup. Gary..... England 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Time for a proper Parts Washer!!
Run some AMSOIL Engine Flush through it before the next change.
Lola is an up and coming CZcams star!
Great advice!
That engine is Toast
Nice work Mike, looked kinda satisfying. You’re making more progress than I am, now on my second pair of leaking ABC struts 😔 As you asked, think I would do the broken spring, see how she runs and if all good contemplate the rest. No pressure but when’s the next vid 😬😆
Thanks Ross!
One spring or all? Thats a good question. I would try one spring and if any others go bad replace them. Best advice I can give, I'll say a prayer for you. 😁🙏👍
🙏🙏
Only replace the one spring for sure...
Mike, randy at aar bought him a amg looks nice not seen video yet
Probably best to use a spring from a similar mileage car so as to keep things balanced and then if that works maybe put a new set in? What do you do with the waste oil and reaching out to Legit street cars would remove the guess work, good luck Mike 👍🏻
Volkswagen and Audi's have metal mesh in the oil passages on the cams and in the block. They can clog or get dislodged in the engine. Do Merc's have something similar?
While the oil pan is off check the rod bearing furthest from oil pump
Sounds like a good plan watch LegitStreetcars to Very smart man . Just thought you need to get a Compression tester leak down tester too , a Bore scope cheap on line at amazon not check EBay yet i need some more Tools myself yed i got a Tool Fetches too but so easier when you got the right tools , you got ramps i used them and jack stands once to remove a transmission . i hopefully get a lift soon but need pad figure wiring going to get the heaver once have but out side ceiling is to low plus this back issue no help . Know older cars was a Certificate Mechanic but went to diffident trait 10 Years at a Machine Shop after industry was hit so went to work at Foundry for next 22 Years till back said different lee .
When someone said, shit in the carburettor it was a question not a remedy 😂🤣
I still think you have a leaky head gasket too.
Throw in the spring and then run some seafoam through the engine. If there is more of that sludge that should clear it out. If all is good, then go a head and change the rest of the springs.
You need to get some more rubber malets there called Dead blow there filled with like shot better impact when removing a stubborn part get a few at your favor tool store , Plus go to Dollar Tree if in your state some basic cheap tools like oil pans ,different pudey knifes . If you got a Tractor supply around they have a Discount tool Racks , Plus different air tools an stuff . as far as Valve spring it all up to the Price and work need to replace them . How much would a new oil pump $$$$ or work to replace it .
Super happy that your getting more Subscribers and Views too finale your get recognized for your Chanel .Keep them coming on regardless the work need don't need major work simple repair are great too.
It’s ok 👍 Lola already stole the scene
Actually, there are few bolt holes (with no bolt inside) was designed to push the pan out when you thread in some bolt
Wow I don't think any amount of oil changes would have ever gotten any of that sludge off, damn that's thicc
Mike, just keep in mind water or coolant got mixed with the oil. If it was water. Was it a flood car? Check the intake filter for any signs of water being sucked in. Hint, those frog eggs. But to me it was something ORGANIC. If it mixed with coolant, check the radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and water pump , while you at it, thermostat.
That residue looked like part of an old shop towel.
Merry Christmas Mike! That car has more nasty stuff coming out of it. That's a dirty engine.
Do all the springs Make
And that's why you do oil changes that pan is nasty poor amg :( thanks mike for savin her
Oil pump bottom looked like a coffee lid upside down 😅
Should have pulled the oil pump and clean it I had oil like that on my van and took for ever to clean it out but afterwards it ran great you should do all the springs my friend save you in the long run
Have you run a compression test?
I also am no expert, but were it me, I would do just the one spring after verifying oil getting to the top side. I would still be concerned about valve damage. No need to replace them all if you end up reworking the head anyway.
