Hi all,
I'm about to start a refurb of a 5.4 M113 engine to put into my C43. Before I start enthusiastically tearing it to pieces however..
The questions are.. 'Can I still get all the seals, gaskets, bearings, nuts, bolts and all the other sundry bits I may have to replace?' and,
'Is there an easy source of info for things like torque settings and nut/bolt tightening sequences?'
I may just take the heads off and clean them up. See what the bores etc look like before I go any further. Why I imagine that I'll make any difference to an engine that AMG put together 105,000 miles ago, I have no idea, but it's a hobby after all.
It's from a CL55 I believe, with 105,000 miles done. Bought from Acid at MSL so I'm happy it's a good one (begs the question, 'why am I taking it apart?' - well mostly to make it look good and to take the opportunity to do a lot while it's out of the car).
