Still at the shop but they believe the head bolts loosened and allowed oil and fluid in cylinders and threw a rod. They've had that happen before and I guess there's an upgrade on the head bolts. Might want to have your mechanic check yours. I'll post more as I get info.

There's another thread where a guy is breaking up an SL55. I'm sure the motor is available.
Your failure is extremely rare... but everything is fixable.

I agree, found. 2003 with 31k on it so I'm good there just scared ****less since this one blew if it will happen again. I've got a smaller pulley from Shardul on it and a turner from OE Tuning but nothing else.

Anything can happen and it's unfortunate that this happened to the OP but, those viewing this thread I wouldn't lose sleep this sounds like a very rare issue. I have 115,000 on my 2005 SL55 never had any issues.
