Pagz, would you happen to know if the part # for the oil cooler seal set is 1121849961? Thx

DutchC54

its a set of 3 o-rings.

anyone got a line on how to source these engines lately? ebay used to be a pretty good place, but they're either not there or WAY overpriced. I'm not dropping $3500 on a 15 year old engine with 150k miles.

Dismantle yard. Make sure they give you warranty...

Thanks Dutch!

Can everyone that has done the 55 swap please chime in and put a list on all mandatory and recommended parts/part #'s, that should be replaced before dropping the engine in? The 2002 E55 5.4 that I'm dropping in has 120K Kms. I don't want to miss anything and pay the price for it down the road. Is replacing the head gaskets overkill? I'm definitely replacing the valve cover gaskets, re sealing the breather cover's, timing chain, pulleys and motor mounts. I'd greatly appreciate all the help! Thank you!

i highly recommend you to get these engine mounts.
E55k front A220 240 27 17

my car has less vibrations from these mounts, with your koni/vogtland setup this will be a great combo

i might post my list and some pics later this week.
i plan to swap my oil consuming 5.4 coming thursday for another one.
parts have been ordered and special tools are ready for the timing chain.

Sulaco

You already have a 5.4 in the car that's burning oil and you will be replacing it with another 5.4?

Any idea why that 5.4 is burning so much oil?

Anyone happen to know the size of the bolts needed for the hoist and engine stand for the 4.3 & 5.4 ? Thx

KJI3jflarryfe93

is there any difference between C43 harmonic balancer and E55 harmonic balancer?
if there is any difference between them both, is it because E55 needs a heavier HB from bigger displacement?

what's the partsnumber for E55 HB?
last updated manufactured part?

what's the partsnumber for right side water outlet connector?

DutchC54

i believe they are the same.

Hello Dennis,
HB is different part number on 5.4, It will have different frequency dampening.

Sorry I do not have the part number on me,but I can get it for you tonight.

When I searched for aftermarket I could not find any I had to get Genuine MB

Dennis,

Do you mean the difference of the Harmonic balancer pulley..?

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

hi guys, thanks for your help finding me those partsnumbers.
it's good to have them all written down when they are needed some day?

I wonder if intake manifold gaskets go bad?
are they made of metal sheet or paper/rubber?

do exhaust gaskets go bad as they are made of metal?

has anyone of you ever replaced the ventilation crankcase filter, is it touched on service at all?
my old Volvo had a small round plastic strainer full with holes for ventilation crankase filter.
is it the same type of filter for M113 engine?
partsnumber for this filter?

is this the partsnumber A13641286708 for fuel-injector rubber O-rings?
is it 16x O-rings for 8 injectors?

what kind of hose should be needed for extra water outlet, IIRC there was a hose from a E300 Diesel perfect fitting?
what's the partsnumber for this hose?

thanks for your help guys

KJI3jflarryfe93

yeah, my brother
what is the difference between pulleys from C43 HB and E55 HB?
there should be a different partsnumber IIRC?

cm60k

Harmonic balancer should be different between C43 & E55, during to differ crankshaft displacement..!

*C43 Harmonic balancer #: "112 035 14 00", & crankshaft #: "113 030 10 01"

*E55 Harmonic balancer #: "113 030 00 03" & crankshaft #: "113 030 09 01"

(4.2l vs 5.4l)

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

thanks bro.

so this is the latest version partsnumber for Harmonic Balancer?
113 030 00 03
how much do they cost at stealership?

nkctb7

There is a local shop with a mandrel machine that can fabricate headers. Does anyone know a rough estimate on how much a set of fabricated headers would cost? Thx

cm60k

Yeah, it's the latest #,

here in local dealer:-

C43 balancer cost around ($250), while E55 balancer around ($300),,

is there any problem with your balancer..?

ZAYED,,

KJI3jflarryfe93

no prob with my HB yet, I bought a Corteco HB, replaced maybe 5 years ago.
i was just curious how much they cost and if partsnumber was different?

cm60k

This balancer is soo sensitive, prefer the OEM only, cause it's the heart of the Engine/crank mass Rotation,

this balancer should be differ upon to differ based of displacement,,

many horror stories of aftermarket balancers, i know some fellows who changed the hole Engine because of aftermarket balancer failure..

ZAYED,,

i need a memory refreshment update?

5.4L engines manufactured up to MY2000-05 use ME2.0/EGS51 which are plug and play on 1998 - 1999 C43 cars?
Is this correct?

engines up to MY2000-05 share the same engine harness - throttlebody - fuel injectors which are plug n play on 1998 - 1999 C43's?
Is this correct?

5.4L engines manufactured after 2000-07 are registered as MY2001 has ME2.8/EGS52 which is not compatible with 1998 - 1999 C43's?
These engines have a different TB - different engine harness - updated fuel injectors?
Is this correct?

the easiest modification would be to buy an engine up to MY2000-06 which has to be plug and play?

I have to write down every important info not to fogget about this.
Please enlighten me if I'm correct with all above info?
