My guess is stuck injector and a hydrolocked cylinder. Its possible this engine is still good! Pull plugs, drain fuel, replace injectors and plugs, change oil and go do a big smokey burnout! Rods don't always bend. Good luck Mike!
None of what you wrote is correct - In fact those two things aren't even related. Stuck Injector = it would miss and be rough, but otherwise fine. Hydrolocked, well, you kinda need to suck in water for that. Nope. It's either timing, or an oil problem because it won't rotate. Either way = Rebuild Time. And Yes, I got the "joke". It would be funny if he had hydrolocked two of 'em.
Too many tunnel runs 😉 Sorry this has happened Mike! Make a “rebuild” series and hopefully get the cost back! I agree with the others though! Hit up Alex from ‘Legit Street Cars’ and do a collab!

headbolts, replace them one at a time and you're back in business.....same thing happened to mine over 80k miles ago....1day, $80 worth of timing tools and $130 worth of bolts and I was back in business. Dealer quoted THIRTY TWO GRAND to fix, fuck them.
@@JAKEaudio2 do you have any pictures I’m quite outspoken on the headbolts since mine popped and mb offered no assistance regarding it so every chance I get to badmouth them I do. Not so much as an apology. After doing research I find it hard to believe the second generation bolts have failed it’s pretty much impossible.
@@AndrewAMG_ unfortunately i do not have any pics of the revision failures(they weren't my personal cars) but I absolutely understand the skepticism as I thought the same thing prior to seeing them myself. I will say this though, they did NOT appear to fail in the same manner as the originals did(stretching at the head or head popping off), they all appeared to have backed out a little bit and then the threads on the bolt were torn away. Also, in each one it was the very rear bolts. I know the VIN break was supposed to provide salvation for the M156 but what I've seen says otherwise (at least to a small degree). But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my M156 for all the tea in China!!! Matter of fact I just replaced the adjuster backing plates with ones from 63Motorsport, at just over 300k miles and it runs like a brand new scalded dog. Original M156, 722 AND rear end.
@@JAKEaudio2 great with my luck I’ll have the second failure too, it’s the first I’ve heard of it people all over the world where contacting with their stories back in 2016-2018, hard to imagine 1.5” of thread letting go. My car failed in 2016 with 35,000 miles it’s got 38,000 miles on it today.
The head gasket blew while you were driving which caused coolant to go into one or more of the cylinders. This caused the vehicle to run poorly which threw on the engine light, and smoke to come out the exhaust. When a restart was attempted, the coolant-filled cylinder seized the engine up.
Very similar to what happened to a pickup truck I had. All it was is a blown head gasket. After it sat some coolant got in the piston area and hydro locked the engine.
This is why I own a Lexus ISF. You can beat the shit out of it for a million miles with 0 issues. German care are total GARBAGE. They just can't figure out how to engineer reliability.
Gave it a huge thumbs up as always! Going to be interesting to see what went wrong with the motor all the sudden. That's super scary bc I owned an 2013 E63 several years ago and I had computer trouble with mine, which led to erratic shifting. Luckily it was under warranty bc it ended up costing $13k!!! If I owned it out of warranty I wouldn't have been able to afford that. I've since sold that car (I miss it everyday) but it taught me a valuable lesson, not to buy something like that if you can't afford a major repair. Not saying you can't afford the new engine, I'm just speaking about me and that whole ordeal comes to mind every time I purchase a vehicle. Helps keep me within my budget.
This looks like a blown head gasket. New engine is not required and would be a massive waste of money. But it will need a teardown and rebuild. Not expensive part wise, but lots of labour. The white smoke typically means coolant is getting inside the engine. Some really bad luck you have with C63's! :(
@@justintoth5440 not necessarily. if enough coolant got into a cylinder that it got hydrolocked, it could refuse to crank. Blown gasket can cause that.
@@Executiveinvestments- Sure, if you ask AMG in germany to rebuild it, which nobody in their right mind would ever do unless its under warranty. Just rebuild at a local Mercedes specialist shop for a fraction of the price. These engines aren't complicated, just simple naturally aspirated V8s, not hard to work on.
If it makes you feel better Mike, my family used to own a 2011 BMW X3 bought new and the engine was replaced at 39,000km. The piston shaft seized even though the car was properly maintained

Hey everyone is different, some people got money & others don't so for him going thru engines ain't much of a big deal obviously it sucks but at least he pushes his cars & enjoys them. My Acura RSX with 267k miles everything original motor & trans. I used to really push it to its limits but now I drive normal slower cause I have a CDL can't mess around but anyways everybody treats their car different I do keep up with maintenance on all my cars.
Well thats strange ! Id pull the valve covers and see if the timing chains are ok, check valves & cams. Easy to do. Then the plugs to see if its a bent valve. Now an injector could have stuck open and hydrolocked it, but i kind of doubt it. Or a head gasket failure, but thats not likely either.
My engine blow up in my 2013 coupe c63 in Australia . It took AMG here 6 months to fix it engine out 90k kms . runs perfect now ...they did not tell me how much to fix as it was covered under extended warranty . but 40k would be close i would say
Did u ever check the tension of the muffler belt? If not, blinker fluid can leak out out on to the exhaust manifold and cause the white smoke….just saying.
noooo! so sorry, I had similar smoke out of back and miss, and it was just fouled up o2 sensors and spark plugs. I've replaced my injectors already, I tested my old ones and they were really buggered. I'm with the others here thinking an injector likely got stuck open and hydrolocked it :(
Riggin's is a great place to deal with, get all my vehicles inspected there. My family actually used to own the building he is in when it was a Dodge dealership.
Water in the cylinder hence the white vapor coming out of the tailpipe = Blown head gasket and hopefully no further damage. If it's white smoke good luck :(

This will be a good thing to document the journey through…. We all fear this very thing happening, so it will be good to see the pains in the arse that comes with this kind of situation.
I personally think the tune is responsible...too much timing or not enough to cause incorrect air fuel mixture and bang! and yours is the PP so its good from the factory...i think tuning these will cause major issues!
Hey what did the cel code read? Cam adjusters go on these and cause very unexpected problems. FYI these high compression engines will take more than a little muscle to manually crank with the engine covers completely on….
My guess is stuck injector and a hydrolocked cylinder. Its possible this engine is still good! Pull plugs, drain fuel, replace injectors and plugs, change oil and go do a big smokey burnout! Rods don't always bend. Good luck Mike!

Id suspect head gasket. A water leak into the cylinder judging by the exhaust, could be hydrolocking it up as well if its bad.
That’s what I say to . I don’t know if they hit the key after it cooled . If they didn’t. Theses a good chance it just needs a top end fix . But
Blown head gasket is white smoke, not blue
@@danoalex2977 Thanks. We all actually thought that...lol No one typed "blue"
