A bit different for a midweek! You all have asked for some more average day content so this video shows our pre-inventory process on a vehicle we purchased for parts.
For parts go to www.Importapart.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
This 2010 Mercedes E550 was bought from a tow lot, after it was wrecked in the front. Generally speaking, we get everything that comes in to run so we know it not only has good compression/leakdown, but makes good oil pressure and has no oiling related problems like engine knocks, lifter noise, etc. For most cars, the process is even simpler than this. Just put it on a jump box and turn the key but this E550 was a little more work.
Getting these cars to run can often involve some reconstruction, temporary fixes and even some parts sourcing. It doesn't always work out in our favor either, but it always lets us know everything there is to know about an engine.
I hope you enjoyed this quick and different style of video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
