I'm pretty sure that TTM made some before for the SLK32's, call them up:

I wouldn't. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ror-story.html
OP, why do you feel you need the looped fuel rail now?

+1, to avoid a "Strange & mysterious" MIST with an TTM situation....!!!,

Loop the Rail is good to eliminate a possibility of starvation, especially in cylinder #8, during to the WOT & a high rev.....

Zayed,
Please slow down with your answers. We all know that you know your staff. But, Fabtech has his own issues with using leaky hoses and does not have a single C32 fuel rail on the road. And my question was addressed to amgstyle, not you.

Agree with you about the failing stuff sometimes,

companies makes mistakes usually, but we can’t take that as a generally,,

loop the Rail NOT a specific thing for the AMGs only, its a basic idea, even for an aspirated Engines,,

anyway; i could be wrong, just sometimes need to share thoughts, it could help somehow, even if im NOT in your section world.....

ZAYED,,

I thought the whole purpose of a looped fuel rail was to even out the fuel pressure in the fuel rails found mostly in v8 applications - My understanding was that v6s didn't struggle with this issue?

I hope you did not misunderstand me. It doesn't matter to me if you are in my section of the world or not. What does that mean on the internet anyways. I just wanted to hear from the OP regarding his reasons for asking.

That's the theory. M112K V6 may struggle from the same issue. It is possible that my misfire a few years back in cyl#6 (last one just like #8 in a V8) and bent exhaust valve was caused by a lean condition in cyl#6. The camshaft lobe being shifted is the result of this. Or it can be a shifted camshaft lobe that caused the valve to bend and therefore a misfire.
Would also be interesting to hear from GammaBenz given his resent camshaft issue.

Weld nuts on the ends of the rail and attach the appropriate dimensions of hose tails. How difficult it can be, cost a couple of dollars. Of course you can send it to me and I do the job 1000Euro

Actually, I wasn't having any misfires at all, and the cam lobs moved on cylinders 4 and 5(towards the front of the car). It appears that my faulty cam lobes is what contributed to my head gasket leaking. Seems that all my exhaust was not being let out of the exhaust valve causing extra pressure in the cylinder during the next compression phase.

Then what's the theory on why the lobs move? Unlikely that they just got loose.

I'll tell you what I have done. I purchased two -6AN weld-on fittings (also known as weld bungs) and took them, along with a spare fuel rail to the guy that repairs my rims. The guy is an expert TIG welder. He charged me $35. Make sure that you cut off the fuel line on the driver side as close to the injector mounting as possible. On the passenger side you should cut off the fuel line right after the schrader valve. I then contacted http://www.racepartsolutions.com/ and purchased -6AN 20" braded steel hose with 90* ends. Install and check for leaks. You are done.
I'm including a picture of what it looks like on the passenger side. I have a fuel pressure sensor sitting in between the fuel rail and the braded hose, but you get the idea on how it is connected.
