*4.7L*
Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! No really, check out my other videos for the engine you'd like to see! I've made over 60 other teardowns from Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. 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 this engine or the other engines I've torn down, email us at [email protected].

In this video I teardown an M278 Bi-turbo 4.7L V8 from a 2013 Mercedes S550. This is closely related to the M157 AMG version of this engine. I bought this engine as a core with the hopes I'd have a bunch of parts to sell. Good news is I do! There were several failure points on this particular engine, and some mystery material inside? As complicated as this engine appeared to be, it was one of the most logically assembled engines I've torn down. I had been putting this engine off for a while, but for no real reason other than it "looked difficult". Glad I bit the Bullitt because this one was fun!

I hope you enjoyed this teardown and as always,
I love all the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
