Hennessy or Asp pulley on cls55
.............The smaller pulley pictured above is a smaller waterpump pulley that is neccessary with the Hennessey and ASP pulleys because the larger diameter of those modified Crank shaft pullies cause them to rub against the stock water pump pulley when installed. It is not usually needed with the Kleemann and Renntech set up.

...........the picture posted above by IMA55R2 of the ASP pulley also shows the stock pulley. All ASP did was to add the outer ring. Notice the mercedes benz star on the base pulley. So in that picture are views of both the stock and aftermarket pulley.

Told ASP about belt problems and they told I need to use
K080510 belt not Dayco...

Ted
I am not in US and not sure if would be able to find this belt at all here...
I want to prepare and to get everything at once and not to wait another 2 weeks till the belt arrives...especially if I am sending this those pullies to German dealer and want him to install it...
ASP just told ME that
Dayco does not make a 51.5 long belt. There part number is 5080510 . My
guess is the Gates belt is 51.0 long as this is the part number.

Here you go all the 8 rib belts they manufacture.http://www.mvreader.com/multiview/da...ltsSearch.y=14
.............problem is you do not know what belt you need. It is very easy to tell once you begin the install. rflow306 tells you you need the dayco 51.6 belt. ASP tells you you need another belt. Belts are cheap, just buy both belts and use the one that works.
..............alternatively, you may wish to leave ASP or Hennessey pulleys alone altogether and buy Kleemann or Renntech pulleys where the belt size is not an issue.

Will get ASP pullies and Dayco 515 belt, if it too long then stock one would work or which ever belt ASP supplies...
They said they sold 3 kit last months and never heard any issues with belt

Last I checked the E/CLS base powerplant/driveline are all the same.
CLS55's have a "look". Do you think "evil" fits the bill?
