Dumb noob question: M113k engine lifting points?
Hey guys,

No response in R230 land so I figured I’d ask here... I’m getting ready to do motor mounts this weekend on my SL55 (and may have to mess with my oil pan down the road). Rather than jacking up the engine by the oil pan, I’m going to use a hoist. Can anyone confirm for me the appropriate place from which to lift the engine?

I know that there are threaded holes in the supercharger but I’m not sure it’s supposed to bear that weight?

WIS is sort of vague, it illustrates the process with a standard M113 and refers to “Engaging shackle in the front engine suspension eye at the air pump.”

Can someone confirm that I’m supposed to be hooking up to (33) and/or (36) in the EPC diagram below?





Thanks!!!

I believe the screw holes in the top of the supercharger are for attaching lifting points. I think there might be a Mercedes part # for the bolts.

Yeah I went back and looked at the WIS instructions for multiple cars with M113k engines and they refer to mounting a bracket on the supercharger.

Now to find the right bracket/bolts.

anyone know what are those brackets in the diagram are for ? they look strong enough to use for lifting although they appear to be aluminum... I have only seen I car that ran the breather tube through the eyelet hole instead of behind the brackets...

OP why overthink it?

Engine mounts are an hour of work from under the car.

You can lift it from 36 and 33 at the same time but a big wide wood block on the oil pan works too.
