John,
You made me laugh out loud with this comment! Does this mean since my car has SLR parts you are my new tech? j/k For those of you that don't know, John is an SLR tech for Mercedes. I know...I know....but you gotta pay if you play! The guys at evo told me they could make it 1000hp. Hmm?

John,
Check out the Ventura/Valley thread...I need your help.

Mick,
Me do the work? I might break a nail. LOL Trust me this is not any easy job even for an experienced tech. I got the cams from Vrus and the gears from the dealer. It will help me get more power on the low end. I can take out two light poles instead of just one. Cost? It wasn't cheap! Trust me at this point I am driving a SL65 badged as an E55.

Okay, it is official. The cams are the sexiest thing I have ever seen. Man that rules. Can you bring them so I can have some private time with them?

John, Damn dude, somehow it escaped me that you are and SLR tech!

Haha, yeah. And I wish I could help you bit more on your problem with the oil consumption. I got your PM and will ask some guys if they've experienced the problem before but it's always tough without seeing the vehicle for yourself. I may be bringing 2 other techs with me to the meet but I won't name them here cause I doubt they want to be hounded at TJ's....but we'll see if we can sort this thing out, or at least offer some insight, at the meet .

That is kind of along the lines I was thinking. Especially about his forecasted parts. Coulda-Woulda. We'll let Angela Bone him for now.

Of course I'll enjoy seeing his car.

John, thanks alot man. This is been pretty trying for me. Especially since Fletcher Jones declined to work on the car because of the Kleeman Pulley upgrade. Of course they had no problem working on the car about 8 months ago when this problem first came up.

yeah, I dunno about the M6 especially the line "u guys are lucky he doesnt have his eeisanmann exhaust and cpu installed yet..." like that's actually going to make it faster than Angela's or Vic's...

Wait WHAT?!?! FJ declined? For pulleys? That's a bunch of horse****! Why'd you take it all the way over there? Take it to BH or DTLA... (NOT Southbay!)

Yeah, I had replaced all serviceable parts I could do, like MAF, Sparkplugs, Fuel Filter, Air Cleaner, checked hoses, installed oil catch can.

They took my car on a Friday, called on Monday, and said, no way we can diagnose this car. It has a pulley kit. I spoke with the tech who told me there diagnosis equipment wouldn't allow them to see if the car was within spec. First thing he said though was that I would need a new S/C. I told him, "Ohh, no the S/C was just rebuilt and serviced withn 100 miles.

Right now it is running better, but the Cel is still on. I'm going to erase that myself and see if it comes back. Ohh and they charged 180 to tell me they couldn't work on it.

i love zankou... but that's off-topic...

hey, definitely have him bring the 1999 S500... that would be sweet !
and a CLK is not a piece of $h!t... that's a great car.


Let me know if he can bring the S500 and we'll put him on the list !
