As above, Need a complete engine, Not fussed about bolt ons, Just the block with heads and sump please.

Yeah sorry, put the old girl away over christmas/New year So both head gaskets have now been replaced with genuine mercedes ones as well as head bolts obviously. New set of 16 iridium plugs, With new oil filters and coolant as well as a brand new radiator. Thats as far as its gone. Sent the...

+2 Wouldnt buy from then if they were the last dealer on earth. Wouldnt trust!

Thanks but i'd rather put the money back into the engine i have, And yes the millage and condition of the engine dont match up. Although i may be wrong in saying that

Im really confused to your question???? The car was never knocking and there isnt a mention of that in the thread

Unfortunately i dont have the funds at present to enable me to go into the bottom end. If when ive rebuilt the top there is still issues then i will of course take her off the road and just do it as and when i can. I dont have a huge income so doing it all is not an option for me. Some may say...

I am so glad you just told me this info, Thank you very very much!!!! Any other tips or info that i should know about?

So a quick update. Had half an hour on the car tonight, Bear in mind ive never touched one of these beasts before, although yes i know an engine is an engine. So got the injectors/rail off and the charger off and onto the bench tonight, Going to start to look at getting the exhaust...

I'll start to strip off one evening this week, Get the heads off and then get them skimmed to be sure. Can anyone please tell me where to purchase uprated mls gaskets please
