Hey guys, need some help ! A close friend of mine ran his car which he just bought higher milage e55 04 at the track this passed wed night, now it seems he has a engine issue ! He is looking for a engine block no pistons or blower just the block any help be great thanks !!!

 

Whats the engine issue?

Getting a block and installing it on a current engine is probably more expensive than getting an entire used engine.

 

Wouls you like to expand on this . _PTEngineering

 

He called and asked if I could help says something about a crack in his block I haven't seen the car yet, but tried looking around for one and have come up empty handed so I figure best place for help is here !!!

 

where are u located? and would you be interested in a whole engine?

 

Hey not sure but maybe for the right price ? Email me what do you have ? From what year car and miles on it ?

 

Topend please let me know!!!

 

Im also in NY as well !!!

 

Anything ? Didn't think it would this hard to find something !!!

 

Hey im pretty sure it will work, just want to make sure with some experts 2006 cls55 motor will bolt right into a 2005 E55 ? Just reusing his old supercharger because the motor doesnt include that !!! Far price, so im just making sure no issues !!!

 

Should be pretty darn close. All the 55 engines were pretty much carbon copies that were stamped out in Germany.

Long as he is using his exhaust, I think he should be fine.

Sorry you guys had trouble finding one. 55Kompressor motors sure aren't small block Chevys (meaning dime a dozen).

 

Can you explain more about what happened? Putting a crack in the E55 block is almost impossible to do

 

mb forever wat do u mean ??? Crank ???

 

Yeah it seems almost noone has anything for sale if they do price is about $7,000.

 

What he means is, we have yet to have a block failure. Your friend would be the first block failure we have ever heard of. Many would like to know how on earth your friend only needs a block? Even on engines with multiple blown pistons we still can reuse the block.

 

Really is that really the case ???

 

Yes.... the 55k engines are built like freakin tanks. This is the first I've ever heard of a damaged block and we have people on here that have pushed the limits to the extreme a few times

What exactly caused this to happen? Did he do any internal engine mods that lead to this?

 

Yes, all my years on the forum and this would be the first.

Quite a few cases of piston popping but even with those, blocks stay intact.

Just curious what he thinks happened?

 

i will look into it more now im curious myself but i still need help finding a block or engine no supercharger !!!

 

Does anyone know if any other benz blocks will work in a AMG car ?

 

Topend please call me !!!

 

Shocked not much out there at all !!!
