I've recently acquired an '88 560 SEC and have since found what appears to be a terminal problem with it.  There is quite a large amount of oil fumes coming from the breather pipe on the cam cover into the air filter box when revved, and having read a post (in the 'other' forum), it would seem that a "....piston ring is worn out....." requiring "...an engine rebuild or replacement."

Good news is I have a good engine in my rather rusty '84 500SEC and was wondering if this would fit into the 560. If so, does anyone know how much this would cost?


Yours,

Adam Lane
 
moving this post to Engine forum - about 250-500 for removal and same again for fitting... plus other charges...
