Mercedes OM642 3.0L TurboDiesel V6 Teardown. This is Exactly How NOT To Treat Your Car!

If this is the first teardown you are finding, there are over 20 others I've done! Lots of LS's, A viper engine, rx8 rotary, and a couple SRT8 Hemi's to name a few. Check them out here    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. If you're interested in buying parts from other engines I've torn down, email us at [email protected].

In this video, I tear down a Mercedes OM642 3.0L DOHC Turbodiesel V6. This engine comes in a ton of Mercedes models starting in the mid 2000's and even Sprinter vans, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Chrysler 300 in different parts of the world. This was the very first OM642 I've torn down and let me tell you, this engine tested my patience. Between not being able to use air and the condition of this particular engine, I didn't have as much fun as I normally do. I'll remember this teardown for ever. Now I just need to figure out how to clean all of this up.

As always, I appreciate all the comments, suggestions and event criticism on my videos. Thanks for watching and I'll catch you on the next one!
