What is the torque specification for the Mercedes 272 engine bolts?
1 Answers
Due to the aluminum cylinder block of the Mercedes 272 engine, it is recommended to apply a torque of 12Nm. Below is a detailed introduction to the Mercedes 272 engine: Engine Performance: Generally speaking, Mercedes engines emphasize torque output at low RPMs (same for AMG-BRABUS), while BMW engines focus on power output at high RPMs. For engines of similar displacement and class from both manufacturers, Mercedes excels in straight-line acceleration performance, whereas BMW offers better dynamic response and quicker throttle reaction. Engine Pros and Cons: Benz primarily adopts a design philosophy of small bore and long stroke, from the smallest 1.8L supercharged engine to the V6—3.0, V6—3.5, V8—5.5, and even the V12—5.5 twin-turbocharged engine, all following this design approach. Their maximum torque can be sustained from around 2,000 RPM up to over 4,000 RPM, providing continuous explosive power. Since drivers directly experience the acceleration brought by torque, it delivers an immensely powerful and continuous push-back feeling during acceleration, greatly enhancing the driver's passion and enjoyment. However, when the RPM exceeds 5,000—6,000, the torque output tends to decline, making Mercedes less suitable for extreme driving conditions.
