The magnesium valve covers didnt last.

@bicylindrico mine are in a rough shape and it was HELL of a work to get the gaskets to seal. Not even the original MB gasket sealed up, I had to carefully add RTV (if you add too much it will leak again).

It seems you haven't paid attention to all of my videos. This engine never had the AMERICAN supercharger on it like the kompressor engines as it's just a standard 5.0 liter M113. I am sure the next build with a real supercharger from Detroit will really have your panties in a bunch. It will also include 2 of those dirty little carbs so stay tuned.

@@bicylindrico Should have said "where a glorious German blower should live". Looks aren't everything.

If it is to be compared to the original 400E from which it came? Then, I would say it is indeed a performance improvement that would be appreciated across all forms of racing.

My scope is only about 3/16" wide. I could see the plastic wedged into the sprocket just before the chained rolled over it so I was on top of the chain. I don't recall where exactly I snuck it in.

@@bicylindrico ignorant question, how do I “ turn the engine “ and where should I place the pieces of wood ?

@@EliasVillarta I use the crank bolt though it's not easy to get to. I used wood between the camshaft sprockets and the cylinder head, just to hold the camshafts from wanting to kick back from the valve springs

Yep. I have a valve body plate that I modified with the 4mm hole but have yet to install it. Some day

Honestly the stock valve bodies are firm enough on 722.6's. People only change them instead of tcu tune.

@@sebjebofficial6230 The modification I mentioned is specific to the 3-4 shift flare. I don't need a tune as the OFGear controller allows me full control over shift firmness and timing

Oh ok makes sense.

Everything has a price. I could reproduce them but didn't think there was much of a market for them. But imagine, stack injection, roots blower, weber carbs, tunnel ram! All possible with these adapters

Cat Cams

These are Cat Cams but even standard AMG cams from a 55 will swap right into a standard M113

Race iq or vrp speed

You are welcome, thank you!

Thanks for the compliments and feedback! I did check out your friends coupe and that is amazingly impressive! I can't imagine how much time he has in that build. Thanks for sharing

Dang, thanks man!

Yeah, she's been an on going project for sure. Thank you for the compliments and tes, fingers crossed on this next converter but if she's over 3k, then I am happy. The 722.6 is plenty robust enough and this one is entirely stock. I have a 722.649 out of a TT V12 if i ever needed one but I don't see this car ever getting even close.

Thank you! I have a Dragy sitting in my desk and a dual plane intake to try out so I should have some new content soon.

Thanks man. They are pretty affordable now without the mods

@@bicylindrico thanks! I'll be looking around! I just got a '12 GLK350 4matic with keyless go. I really love it. Way better than I expected it to be. It rarely gets driven, I have other stuff I drive.

@@thewiseguy3529 You will be happy with that model, they were pretty reliable overall. Thanks again for the comments!

@@bicylindrico thanks! I love it! I only took a chance on it because it's made in Bremen, Germany. I don't prefer the American made models. They seem different to me. I can feel something different. Like maybe not using torque specs. Idk. But I notice something.

Thanks! 👍

Have a ton of information I can offer, were doing similar stuff. I have a m113k e55, would like to be able to have conversations, but not in the public side as it's a place for misinformation. Are you interested in information share, and if so how do I contact you

Hit me up on IG. Same username

Thank you! I just checked out their website. I am curious what you had done and what the application was.

I sent ig message

I hand sanded and scratched up with like 600 grit, epoxy primed and shot with VHT engine enamel. Then cleared with Spraymax 2k brilliant clear. This was a few years back and you see them now. Prep is everything

@@bicylindrico i did similarly but the paint comes off due to the magnesium turning to powder

@@narcissistinjurygiver2932 That's where the epoxy primer comes in. It's a 2 part epoxy that is sprayed and cured on the surface sealing the magnesium from the possibility of oxidation. Spraymax also sells a 2 part epoxy primer in a spray can though I use a spray gun and mix myself. Using the chemically hardened epoxy primer and then the chemically hardened clear-coat, you are getting a very stable coating over the magnesium. I hope this helps.

Thanks again as always Dave!

Actually the low end torque from this engine is fairly weak compared to the upper RPM power hit around 4k. You can almost hear these cams come on power in the videos once the revs come up. Also this is a single plane intake manifold and I already have a dual plane intake ready for a video coming up soon.

@@bicylindrico that's going to sound great too I bet. Awesome car!

3.69:1 from an early 300SL R129

Where are you located. That looks really similar to our area of middle TN. I have done a 5.0 swap in a c230 coupe. Also did you try Southern hotrod in New Orleans area? They do a lot for ours and the Dodge version of the transmission. Also I think June blood has some custom torque converters.

@@jasonspitzley1004 Central Ohio

@@jasonspitzley1004 5.0 SWAP in a W203 coupe? I bet that is a missile! :D

@@55kompressor it does alright...lol

Yes with OFGear controller and SLK paddle shift buttons on my standard W124 steering wheel

Please take my advice and scratch the idea. Its hard enough with the more space the 400E chassis provides

@@bicylindrico Ya I'd probably have to do some welding too and front end suspension changes, would end up costing a lot more. Thanks for the advice!

Don't need no stinking speedo. Good luck on the swap!

Sorry, I do not

Putting one together now

I do not but I could have a batch made. They arent cheap to make though and would be in the $1000 range per set. I would love to sell things like that but fear I couldnt move them

Of course, everything material is for sale but my price is likely more than anyone would be willing to pay

Yes Sir, I am very happy with the wheels and would purchase another set. I bet they look amazing with the blue exterior

Γεια σου φίλε του w124. Ναι φαίνονται πολύ ωραία με το με μπλε χρώμα. Σαν αυτοκίνητο στο σχέδιο είναι ωραίο ο Μπρούνο σακκο ήταν κορυφαίος σχεδιαστής

Yes, you would need (and want) to use the 722.6

@bicylindrico. no FB

The 275's ended up rubbing so dropped down to the 255 and it's a perfect fit

no, it allows easy customization unattainable with an ecm controlled fuel injection setup

@@masonpeterg well programmed ecu is self adjusting and allows for different setups with a touch of a button. I know that for carb guys, ecu is rocket science and all the wires are means of disaster, but it's not that scary.

I can fix my fuel system with a rock on the side of the road. A stuck float is the most likely issue ever with a Holley carb

Sadly its a cheap set of ebay manifolds. I have a set of long tubes to modify next winter
