Service on my 2008 CLK63
Just bought a 2008 clk63 with 42,500 miles. Interior and exterior in great condition but service is a little behind. The B service was just completed by previous owner. I already replaced engine (with black series mount) and trans mounts, front tires, did transmission service, and spark plugs, partition cover shocks. I also replaced all the injectors as a precaution. I've seen a few engines get damaged from stuck open injectors. Still need to do thrust arm bushings. No signs of coolant loss but will probably do head bolts with updated parts as a precaution also.
Old mount compared to new black series mount
Old spark plugs compared to new plug. They weren't too bad

Great cars and motors. I have the exact same from 07' with 45K on it....I'm pretty sure my motor mounts are fine, yours were shot tho at your mileage?
Are you a technician? I've had my car for 8+ years and 30K miles, not many engines have had head bolt issues; in fact it isn't nearly as many as the internet would suggest. But if you do your own work, why not do it then? The new bolts are not that expensive (IMO)...but the labor would be if done by some shop.

Yea my mounts were completely shot. I replaced them with clk black series mounts. They fit right in. Yes I'm a mb tech. Parts aren't too bad for doing head bolts so I'll probably just do them. I've owned several 55 amg cars but this is my first 63 amg.
