My Clk has been sat on my drive for a couple of years due to one of the pistons deciding it wanted to live at the bottom of the sump but on its journey down there it decided it was going to do irreparable damage to the cylinder.
It's now a project car.
I sourced an engine which was supposed to have done 79,000 miles and had a blown head gasket. No way of confirming either.
I've completely stripped it and everything appears to be in pretty good shape internally apart from the camshaft sprockets. I've already bought a long list of parts to rebuild it.
I haven't bought pistons, piston rings, con rods, con rod bearings or main bearings. As they all appear in really good shape but need to check.
Does anyone know what any of the measurements are for the following....
I'll be using feeler gauges and plastigage.
Con rod endplay
Crankshaft endplay
Piston ring end gap
Con rod bearing oil clearance
Main bearing oil clearance
Any help would be very much appreciated.
