INSIDE AMG | One Man, One Engine - How an AMG Engine is built (1/3)
The heart of each AMG vehicle is right under the hood - this is why host Cornelius takes you on a journey through the process of engine building at AMG in the latest Episode of INSIDE AMG.
Cornelius meets several experts and experiences how the engine builders are trained and qualified at AMG. Cutting-edge technologies like computer learning and AR are utilized as a part of this process. Cornelius even dares to try his hand at screwing on the control housing.
Cornelius’ next stop is the Four-Cylinder Engine Manufactory, where engine building supervisor David is waiting. Together, they prepare everything they need to begin the engine assembly process. Cornelius gets hands-on, applying the knowledge he learned from Qualification Island to understand and participate in every step of the engine’s creation.

🎥After qualifying for the engine manufactury at AMG in the last episode it is now time for Cornelius to finally start building an engine with David. In this Episode of INSIDE AMG, they meticulously assemble the engine step by step: from the first component expertly mounted to the installation of all four pistons and precision parts like oil spray nozzles.
Cornelius eagerly takes on as many tasks as possible, guided by David's expertise.
Throughout the build, David and Cornelius delve into the technologies employed, uncovering the unique features of both the engine and the manufacturing process.
By the end of this episode, the first of 17 phases in the engine construction process is complete, leaving you on the edge of your seat for what's next in Part 3 of this series. Don't miss it!
INSIDE AMG | One Man, One Engine - How an AMG Engine is built (3/3)
It's the moment we've all been waiting for! Join Cornelius and David in the exciting conclusion of the engine building journey at AMG in Part 3 of the engine manufactury special of INSIDE AMG.
Continuing from where we left off, Cornelius and David methodically assemble additional engine components, including the crankshaft, Lanchester linkage, main bearing bridges, and more. Precision is key as they inspect the sealing ring before injecting sealing compound into the control housing cover. Simultaneously, they complete the primary drive assembly by installing control gears and sliding rails. Cornelius takes the reins, personally fitting the control housing cover.
As all components fall into place, and every inspection gate is successfully passed, it's time for the final steps.
The engine undergoes a cold test to ensure it's in peak condition. And in an unforgettable moment, Cornelius is bestowed with the honor of signing the engine's badge.

Mercedes AMG V8 ENGINE PRODUCTION EXPOSED 🇩🇪 Car Factory
AMG V8 engine factory! Engine assembly according to the production philosophy of "one man, one engine".
Mercedes-Benz AMG 63 V8 #Engine Production. The dry weight of the AMG V8 engine is only 209 kilograms. The aluminium crankcase is sand-cast and produced in closed-deck design. This provides maximum strength and low weight.
The two turbochargers are in a so-called "hot inside V" configuration. This allows a more compact design, optimised airflow and provides perfect incident flow for the exhaust gas turbochargers. The result: optimum response from the engine and improved emission values. In order to ensure that maximum temperature and thermal conductivity is provided, the cylinder head alloy has been refined with zircon. And for maximum durability and friction-optimised operation the cylinder-bore surfaces are coated with the NANOSLIDE technology developed by Daimler. Our most important component part? Passionate dedication.
The M176/M177/M178 is a V8 petrol engine range designed by Mercedes-AMG, replacing Mercedes-Benz M278 engine and Mercedes-Benz M157 engine, and is based on the Mercedes-Benz M133 engine
Car factory. The engine has two BorgWarner turbochargers positioned between the two cylinder heads in a "hot-V" configuration. The fuel injection system uses Bosch's new piezo-electric direct fuel injectors that deliver five squirts of fuel per combustion cycle
Mercedes AMG Manufactory. The M176 engines are mostly assembled by machine with some components assembled by technicians at Untertürkheim manufacturing centre outside Stuttgart. The M177 and M178 are individually assembled by the technicians in "one man, one engine" principle at AMG manufacturing centre in Affalterbach
