Hi all. In the process of rebuilding my M156 lump for my C63, I’m from the UK. Actually really really enjoying it, apart from the cost of parts which leads me on to my question… for a proper rebuild of these engines… I’m not talking making do with parts that are barely hanging on, and replacing the absolute bare minimum, I’m talking a proper, well sorted out, clean rebuild that you could pretty much call a 0 miles engine, new bottom end bearings, new piston rings, new seals, new gaskets, new lifters, springs, valve stem seals, camshafts etc etc, everything thoroughly cleaned but without the actual replacement of pistons, rods and crank providing they are in working order as they are big money pieces… but all in all a well thought out build, what would you expect the cost to be? I ask out of curiosity but also because I’m actually interested in offering this as a service as I thoroughly enjoy working on this engine
I wish you were in Australia. I would have gotten this done 100%. Can I ask where you get all the parts?
