MBWorld Fanatic!
Thanks a lot man it means a lot. Its a crap load of work to do the body work and i never want to do it again, but id be happy to help someone do it again. I have every part number and every file for the custom stuff if you ever want to do. I think its been done on a white clk63 cabrio if I'm not mistaken. Thanks man i wanna set up a cool little meet one day with all of us, and meet each other in person.
yeah for sure, thanks! you can find me most sunday mornings at supercar sunday in calabasas off the 101!
My cabrio will have to wait as i am looking into getting a track car right now
! but you never know!

so here are the updates. Pistons are being made right now. I made some serious changes to the piston and rod design to make it handle boost and obviously the power goal. The pistons should be finished this week, and the rods in about 3 weeks. The block is also going to be done this week. There were some issues with sleeving the block but we did it. I will show you guys some pictures of what happened during the process. Mercedes has water passages between the bores, which is pretty common but these ones are different because they are holes, so we are machining brass screws to place there. Its pretty trick. Anyways here are some pictures of the block. I'll have finished ones this weekend.

You can also see the lip where the sleeve is going to sit on the second to last pic. Some people just let it sit only on the bottom and that where you get the sleeve the sink under high stress.

worries?
Any concerns about machining so much out of the bores? I think the "break-through" areas might be a good strating point for some stress risers.

No its no issue. There are coolant passages between the bore anyways, and there is really no stress on that part of the bore. The sleeve will take all that up, and the real stress is where the sleeve sits on the block. Basicly surface with the block. The bottom and top of the sleeve is where the real stress is. Without giving to many specs on the pistons i am under sizing the bore a little to add meat in the critical areas.

Ok so last night i went and picked up the block. The sleeves came out perfect as expected. This block is honestly very stout now and should easily handle the power, and not to mention its very light too. here are some pics of the finished product. All i need to do now is finish hone it to the piston size and possibly line hone her and shes ready to rock and roll.
