Weird, it didn't look like they used any assembly lube.
Same here. I've built many engines and I know what it takes to build it to survive break in and many years beyond. After watching this video it makes sense why we see some less than 1000 mile engine failures. No real bearing clearance checks and no lube on at least the main bearings or rod bearings during assembly equals scuffed bearings on first rotation. Even if done by hand.

the video seems to be 4 years old... I wonder if some of the processes have changed.. I love seeing those giant robots handling heavy parts with such precision..

Very cool - thanks. We actually have a 3.6 short block we use to show the various areas our machine tools are used in engine machining.

Could you please explain me about fuse box ?
Wranglers have been famous for not having the fuses set in the fuse box correctly. one of the first recommended things to check when taking delivery is to push in all of the fuses and make sure that they are set correctly.

Thank you very much, my Rubicon is coming in the next 2-3 weeks. Will check this at the dealer

A Jeep assembly line worker on this forum says the fuses come pre-seated from the supplier. This makes sense but someone in quality control should be checking them as well.

Proper assembly on the Mercedes line. Inspect with a light, use your hands to "feel" the surfaces and yes, lube all moving pieces. The pro technician looks engaged and paying attention to details versus the mostly bored, looking around to what others are doing, non-engaged workers I just witnessed. Or maybe the Mercedes tech was just on his best for the vid.

The robots impressed me more.

I'll counter with this offering: Mercedes AMG V8
