If you ever followed Tim LaTobe's M119 custom engine build for his W126 SEC track car. He built his own custom intake manifold using the cut-down base plate of the factory one with c/f i/runners leading from a larger plenum above the intake and not in the valley. Larger T/body fed by over the radiator rammed air intake. original cams were re-profiled for more lift & duration, custom exhaust, block bored out to 100mm cyllinders with forged pistons, M117 crank, dry sump, Modern ECU and dyno tuned using rear hub direct bolt dyno. Engine achieved near 700hp ATcrank n/a which was pretty stout. So the moral of the story is still the intake manifold/plenum & cams are the key to unlocking the true potential of these amazing engines
I love the sound of the 119
119.960 is the best engine Mercedes ever made.
As the owner of a 1984 500SEL W126 with an M117 engine and a 1990 500SL R129 with an M119.060 engine, black over palomino, with an original AMG Type 1 Body Kit, this video scratched all my itches! I noticed the many similarities as I learned about and worked on the 2 engines. I just assumed that how all engine development worked - the later evolving from the earlier.
Great information!
I purchased my first Mercedes in 1995. Was a 93 400E with only 30,000 miles. Loved that car, was kind of too heavy to be a true sport sedan but the engine was dead smooth, as in you didn't even know it was running, from idle to 6,000 RPM. Used to run it on the track at Willow Springs with the Porsche Owners Club. Burned up a few sets of brake pads and tires but was still running perfectly at 185,000 miles when it was sold. In 2004, my girl friend had a 98 SL500. Nothing better then cruising down PCH with the top off. I believe the M119 engine was one of the finest production V8's ever. Some may argue that the all aluminum construction was not durable but that was only true if the engine was abused, over heated or poor lubricants were used. I always used Amsoil products and still do, never have had a failure of an internal drive train part.
Love the grunt of the M119 in my S500. Thanks for this vid.
M119 is such an underrated engine across the automotive world
I love the M119, I had it in a 400E. One thing I don't think was mentioned was the M119.960 had the "tall deck", same as the M117. The LH and motronic versions got a shorter deck height, presumably to help with packaging on cars like the 124 and 140 (which never got the .960). I would love an early '90-'92 500SL, those seem to not carry a premium over the later cars with the 722.6 but I think people are missing out.
Terrific history! Looking forward to seeing more AMG merger content!
Happy New Year Pierre! Thank you so much for such an insightful video of the M119 engine. I own a 1996 S 500 and a 1998 CL 500 with 119.980 engines and love them both. They are powerful, smooth as silk and have been unbelievable reliable and easy to maintain. I bought early last year a 2017 S 500 with the direct injection M278 engine and although is insanely powerful and fast because of the bi-turbo set up, there is clearly no other advantage against the M119. I would deeply appreciate if in the near future you'll make more videos about the W140, which I know you were not fond of at the beginning, but I think they are now proving to be an exceptionally worthy Mercedes classic, more so when they have been properly maintained and cared for.
nice explanation of the engine i had never been so well informed about it, great video
I owned a 97 W210 with a M119. Love that car and really loved that engine. Never gave me a problem. I did maintain it as per MB service instructions.
I own a 1991 500SL with a M119 ,I don't drive it often mostly a summer fun car ,closest German engine feel and torque wise to a older American V8 imo . I do all my own work on my Benz's I must to say the learning curve on the M119 was steep but I enjoy a challenge and knew that when I bought it. She's a scary beast when you lay into it as you said ,I've taken her up to 100 mph and still pulling hard at that speed. I think one could easily bury the 160 speedo but not me .
Love the technical history stuff!😁
Great video Pierre. The content on AMG would be very interesting since the information that exists before the merger is very little. It's a pleasure to listen to you. Regards
M119 is a Great Engine . I Have a on M120 and it is low mileage 45000 miles Great condition but a lot more complicated and experience.
Great the same to you and your Family !!
Oh I got a sudden urge to drop M119 engine in a C126. It will be fantastic!
As usual, you left out some important information. The M119 isn’t simply an M117 with different heads. There are a number of differences on the bottom end. The M119 differed from the M117 in the following ways:
