Starting up a Rusty Engine from the Grave

Starting up a Rusty Engine from the Grave

When this inline 6-cylinder engine sat out in the weather without a head for a while, needless to say it began to rust inside, causing the engine to seize up!

Instead of just calling it a day and scrapping the old pile, this owner decides to have his share of fun before ditching the block by un-seizing it and showing us what a running engine looks like on the inside!

Amazingly, the engine fires up and runs with relative ease, showing off its yellowing and struggling internals before taking one final breath.

Check out the video below as the rusted Mercedes power plant temporarily comes back to life before being put out of commission for good! It looks like this little engine is quite the soldier! Imagine if proper maintenance had been observed.
