And, while it's there, consider increasing performance (but not required).http://weistec.com/all/c/c-63/2012-2...internals.html

DO A SEARCH
Seriously, you already have one thread started on this and there are literally a hundred others. Now you revive a 3yr old thread.
I swear this place lately is like the inmates running the asylum smh...

"Waking up the dead" I have been searching and the only symptom I could find was water lose. Dude, if you've been subscribed to this for three years it must have relevance.

Head stud issue
I am considering buying a C63.
This head bolt issue is interesting.
I have an XJS v12 and to stop any corrosion issues with head bolts I use water less coolant.

This may be worth considering?

I used to be concerned about this...
I used to be concerned about head bolts, 07 CLS 63
I have had a number of issues over the years: intake manifold problem, oil leak at the block, air suspension pump failure, fuel pump failure, but not the bolts (knock on wood…).
I asked my SA, and he said, of all the many many m156 engines that they've had come through their busy dealership, bolt failure has only been seen on a handful over his last five years there.
Seems to be low incidence.
Still in the back on my mind…78K miles.

Yes it did
Oh it failed. Front fenders resting on the tires, red warning light. Control module and airmatic suspension pump replaced. It's been fine for more than two years since.
