M272 & M273 Engine -Balance Shaft Installation and Timing

I'm taking off my right cylinder head currently and i have taken out all of the cylinder head bolts, and i was wondering even if i hadn't taken off my exhaust manifold yet, shouldn't i still be still be able to lift my cylinder head? or is the only thing stopping me the exhaust manifold bolts

The comedic start was a riot 🤣🤣

Excelente video amigo gracias

Wow , a very professional guide, god bless you sir. 10 out of 10.

I'm convinced that this job is for a Mercedes qualified mechanic; not for home mechanic without proper Benz tools.

Very usfull

Had the balance shaft start to go out on my 06 r350, so I got the engine from a 2010 GLK350 and replaced it, about to buy an 06 c350 with a bad engine, and replace the balance shaft on the m272 from my r350 and put it in there, I believe if I pin and remove the cam gears this should be a pretty straight forward job

M273 dont have balance shaft

Help! Please, First Thank you for the Video, Unfortunately like many videos the orientation of the Balance Sprocket is not specified. My 19 year old son have torn down his M273 in my work area and he has removed the carbon behind the rings and performed a valve job and now we are stuck reassembling. How does the Balance Sprocket go in in relation to the copper link on the chain. There are not three lines on our sprocket, just weights, a mark on the weight and a part number. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

Very goood! Thx

Great !

Ausgezeichnet 👍👍👍👍👍

Hello I hope that someone can help me with this. When aligning the right intake camshaft sprocket the R with the arrow, would the arrow be in the middle of the copper link. Assuming the letter W would the arrow be in the middle of that W like V^V the symbol ^ would be the arrow that is at the end of the R.

Mercedes became the laughing stock of the car industry because of problems like this ...

So I'm gonna be attempting to do this myself and what not, it's a personal project because it's my dads car and I want to make him proud of me so if there is anyone that is wiling to talk and assist I would love that much love to you all ❤❤

Is this happened because of code P0012?

سلام سپاس تشکر درود و....هزاران 👍...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤ممنونم بزرگوار مهندس برلیانس عزیز

Super Video

thank u

I have to pull the freaking engine because Mercedes can't make a gear correctly?

Hi
My 2006 C230 V6 2.5 M272 is making a constant ticking noise once the engine revs anything above idle. While driving the sound goes away if I take my foot of the accelerator. It sounds like the noise is coming from the left cylinder top, somewhere in the front.

Does someone have an idea what could be the issue?

It's a good & useful video,so any other videos for M274 engine,tks!

perfect

I have a question for you. I have Mercedes Benz r350 v6 cylinder 6 has a misfire. I replaced the air intake manifold I saw the intake valve filled up with oil. There is a way I can fix valve stem seal without removing the head off. Please let me know the best option

Жаль что не по русскому

Thanks a lot for the great information

Wow. I replaced a clutch in a Fiat Spyder when I was a kid and ah remember that the lowest point on that car was the oil pan only less than a foot from concrete. That was pretty simple but need to jack the engine up a bit to do it. This process is clearly beyond my tolerance level. It seems like the M272 is of poor design. Why would the chain hang in my opinion? The chain needs to react to stressors I assume but keeping it inline per a lifecycle of an engine seems poor design per my take on it. Yes, I have the M272 balance shaft repair per 77K miles on my SLK 350. I'm hoping MBUSA will do something. Its clearly a problem with that engine at that time. A class action suit was launched that paid for most repairs but I'm beyond the 10 year mark but with 77K miles. A 60K car should not be toast at 77K miles. It just seems to me that replacing the balance shaft would not repair damage made by metal fragments circulating throughout the engine. MB also suggested the same when I learned of the class action effort years ago. A new engine would be needed. They also suggested that we do not see many of those models around anymore.

100 000? i don't think so. these engines on the video are V6 engines, they need replacement sprockets but not the V8 .R172 engines. these V6 engines are problematic yes. M152 and M157 don't need that sprocket and chain replacement that often. The Mercedes-Benz M273 engine is a V8 automobile piston engine family used in the 2000s. It was based on the similar M272 V6 introduced in 2004.

Why do you put the timing cover on before the cam gears?

Thanks for showing the timing procedure. In M273 V8 engine there is no blance shaft because there is no need of balancin cross plane V8 with natural 90degree V angle, int this place there is only gear that tennsions timing chain. The balance shaft is only in M272 V6 engines whres Mercedes applied unnaturla V angle 90 degree and too soft steel for timming gears

Thank you Eddie Padilla.

Awesome video,do you have one for the m112 engine?

Great upload thank you. These engines are a joke completely over engineered. Money pits.

What's the specified torque?

Interesting video.
Cant help thinking, thats some fancy engineering for 250ish HP. Even if the reason is a smooth running motor it feels a bit overengineered?

Really good video. Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TUITION ON THIS TYPE OF ENGINES. SOON I'LL BE REBUILDING MY 09 SLK 350
AND I NEEDED THIS GREAT INFO.

hello My engine number is M272 30 660801, do I have to worry about balance shaft ? thank you

wonder if/when he will realize that he dropped the cylinder head gasket, on the BENCH! as he picked up the head??- woops!!

Which years were affected by this issue?

Might as well rebuild the whole engine at this point. New bearings and rings would not add that much to the total cost. What the hell was MB thinking ? Thanks for the great video but no thanks MB , I think I will send my MB on down the road.

Was quoted $2800 with parts and labor for this repair. Anybody else? What do you think eddie good price? Mines a 6 speed c350. Mechanic suggested just replacing the balance shaft instead of buying another engine. Sitting at 150k miles

on what milage or km can one expect replacement? I have the new normal aspirated 5.5 V8, no turbos

At what miles does the balance shaft problem occur ?
Somebody please help

Where is the first video the narrator was talking about???

I'm familiar with Nissan V6 engines, they are much simpler and straight forward.
