M113K / E55 AMG ENGINE BLOCK REPAIR

I have a 2005 E55 AMG with 142k Miles / 230k KMs. I have finally found out the reason for my high oil consumption is three cylinders have scoring, and the oil rings I believe are done. I purchased a second engine, when i inspected that I found the same thing! I don't feel like purchasing a third engine and going through the same headache. Does anyone know of companies that will Hone these blocks? I know a lot of shops don't want to do to the lining. Thanks

I would suggest to find a shop that can sleeve the block, and if you do so, you have to use different pistons

Honing scratches out will take the bore out of service limit. You can buy the specific hones for the finish hone if you would like to do it yourself. With the cost of the parts needed to refresh these engines, doing it half assed isn’t usually a good idea. Plus like said above, by the time you hone the scratches out, you wil likely get quite a bit of piston rock and possibly slap.

Don't forget the alu-sil coating of the stock cylinder walls. Easier to find a reputable shop to resleeve the block.
