Who built my engine?

How do I find out the name of the guy who signed the engine from the signature plate?

Maybe Andreas Kawula? Check the link

The "l" in his last name is very distinct.

Then just go to the following section:

INSIDER -> People of AMG -> Master Mechanics

You can then manually look through the animation of the video posted above zoom in and it will tell you the name of each signature.

And by the way, my engine was built by the same guy as yours. His full name is:

Andreas Kawula

I took my car to the AMG factory and met him (Timo Brill).

Re: Engine Signature

Mine became much easier to read after gently applying a little car wax to the signature block on a COLD engine. Just wipe it on, wait 5 minutes, wipe it off.
I think mine got faded due to a couple of years in Florida heat, it has been like new for the past 6 months since I did the wax.

Mine was built by Thomas Konstantin
