Assembling The Block - M104 Turbo Build (Ep. 15)

This is a general "How-To" turbo a car series.

In this episode, I assemble the pistons, and throw them into the engine block. I show everything you need to do: Piston rings, con-rods and wrist pins, torques; plus some tips and tricks.

The vehicle, named Daario, is a 1997 Mercedes Benz E320 (W210), with the 3.2l I6 (M104.995) engine, and has ~150k miles on it.
