The Mercedes-Benz M119 is a V8 automobile petrol engine produced from 1989 through 1999. It was available in 4.2 L; 5.0 L; and 6.0 L displacements. It was a double overhead cam design with 4 valves per cylinder and variable valve timing on the intake side. It was replaced by the 3-valve M113 starting in 1997.

The M119 differed from the M117 in the following ways:

• The engine block uses asbestos-free gaskets and has better oil flow
• The cylinder head is now a 4-valve aluminium unit with dual overhead camshafts
• The connecting rods are forged and enable cooling of the pistons with sprayed oil
• The pistons are iron-coated cast aluminium
• An improved vibration damper system is used
• The aluminium oil pan has bolted-on oil baffles to prevent foaming of the engine oil
• The intake camshaft timing is adjusted hydro-mechanically up to 20°:
  • 0–2000 rpm — retarded for improved idle and cylinder scavenging
  • 2000–4700 rpm — advanced for increased torque
  • 4700+ rpm — retarded for improved volumetric efficiency

4.2

The 4.2 L (4,196 cc) version (M119.975) produced 205 kW (279 PS; 275 bhp) at 5700 rpm and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3900 rpm. Japanese versions produced 286 PS (210 kW; 282 bhp). Rare Japanese version 400E 4.2 AMG (16-20 cars) has 312 PS (229 kW; 308 bhp).

Applications:

• W124 400 E / E 420
• W124 400E 4.2 AMG
• W210 E 420
• W140 400 SE / 400 SEL / S 420

The 5.0 L M119 replaced the M120 V12 in the CLK-GTR race car, for the new generation CLK-LM which then won every race in the FIA GT series, which ultimately resulted in the GT1 class being canceled.

It also won the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Sauber C9 and was further used in the Mercedes-Benz C11 before being replaced by the M291 3.5L Flat-12 in 1991.
