Clk55 cams on 500 engine
Hi everyone,
I was told that installing cams from the Clk 55 in a Clk500 engine is a direct swap. But I am not sure if It is required to change the valve springs and retainers as well.
From what I’ve read, the preface lift C55 had single valve springs, whereas the facelift C55 has double valve springs.
Would appreciate if you guys could advise me which parts I need to swap other than the cams to do the job correctly first time.
Thanks
Steeve
