Hi Fabian


I'm putting your E55 n/a Cams in my CLS500 and it works great. The Engine feels more agressive and sounds completely different, more dirty.

That E55 n/a Cams gave to my CLS500 more power than the chip Tuning before. So, it's really worth it to do this swap.


It takes a half of a day to do this, because the Oil filter housing have to be removed.


Now the car revs better and feels more sporty.


Greetings from Switzerland

Great! :-)

If you have removed the gearwheel from the rights camshaft you can lift the left one a little to get the Torx Nut on the Gearwheel of the left one without removing the Oilfilterhousing...

changed abou 12-15 sets of camshafts on m113/m112 so far an never ever removed a oilfilterhousing.

greetings, Fabian

That works very good. Your engine will be more sporty and not that much boring like now. Do it, it's worth!!

i've heard that changing the camshaft could result in serioud damage to the valve train because the original cam and the lifters and rocker arm are worn at the same patern, so that cancause damage, did you heard this before? How true it is?

No I didn't heard about that, this is only if your engine already has a damage
