Heads do not have to come off to replace front cover.

 

You are correct

 

Turns out the motor I found has a hairline crack in the head and cracked block Search continues, might as well just put it back together at this point

 

Damn Ahmad, you can't catch a friggin break. I know some gents with questionable morals that can make that headache.....shall we say.....disappear for you.

 

"if it weren't for bad luck...." Sorry man, you just can not catch a break!

 

The bad luck continues. I had an engine lined up to be delivered last saturday morning. So we pulled my engine, sc, cams, oil pans, oil pump etc friday night. Guy doesn't show sat. Not sunday. And he is basically not responding anymore. Search continues and my car has no motor in it right now

 

Damn dude! Sorry to hear that bro.

I hate flakes!!

Keep your head up for it can only get better from here.

 

Hey Ahmad, are The Auto Channel guys ripoffs?

Everytime I search around on Goog for engines, these guys keep popping up.

Maybe they are just a boneyard database or something? They list a LOT of W210 engines but also claim they can find a W211

Yea me too. I had my hopes up. Was just going to fix the damn thing and then got offered the motor so changed my min. Oh well, I dont know what I'm going to do at this point. Sick of not having the car
Well I looked through those listings. Those are all E500 motors that they have listed as "fits E55". Thanks though

 

know where this guy lives?

 

Fix it and put it back in.
A bird in the hand.....especially when that bird can fly through the quarter like that

Fix it and put it back in, but this time with 200+ HP of NOS!
Hey bro, you were willing to part with it so might as well break an all time record in the process.

 

Haha
Words of wisdom. I will fix it next weekend unless I find something between now and then
Hahahha. It would probably blow up before a complete pass! Then I'd be in the same situation, actually worse.
