I'm a retired repair shop owner and a Mercedes nut. I bought a nice c320 Coupe and then and SLK 32 AMG. I'm doing an engine swap thrn I will sell the SLK and keep the Coupe
It has coilovers and Brembo brakes so it also has a wheen package - 245 40 18 / 255 40 18 with Michilen Sport cup tires.

Asid from the oil pans, front cooler and some other niggles its a fairly easy swap - HOWEVER, I need some info on the C32 oil pump because I can't use the SLK high volume pump do to the pickup location so I found a C32 pump in Germany and it looks like it will fit just fine but it looks the same as the stock oil pump, only difference is the drive gear.

I NEED the oil tube O-ring and the one-way valve that goes in to the block between the oil pump and the block. Its plastic with a spring and it got eaten by the pump but but stayed in the chambers (plastic). I hate to go to the dealer for parts and FCPEuro is not a good source. Any other expert MB Parts stores that you all can recommend?

Thanks - Will start posting pictures this week as its all apart - both engines on the floor getting pans and pumps swapped.
