Mercedes AMG engine nightmare

you know, off the top, so to speak, and the top of this is the whole damn girdle, so I can fly up and cut that g, you know, I can take 5000. I removed that girdle to reduce the size of my hole, then lined up a Bard, the man you know, the mains and resize them back to size so we can get standard bearings and all that in the block, but now I've downsized honey rear main seal okay because I've trimmed five now, five will be a problem, probably not what you're saying is that the hole in the rear main housing trunnion will be reduced from 5 to 10,000 fish, probably yes, yes, when That's not a problem, Dave, what I'll do is just put that stamp on the lathe here and they have a lot of nepr on the outside and I'll just take 5,000 off that stamp which is not a It's a big deal that 5,000 on a stamp is not going to make a big I, yeah, we're on the same page, neither is it believe.

I also have a machinist in Kansas, you know, buried in damn Sprint car

engine

s right now and he says I have so much work I don't even want to touch it, but we're kind of faced with this, this is, yeah, I mean , this is a

, I mean, can you put a price on a block? It's 18 thousand dollars and it's not available. Basically, send this second part. Mercedes pays up front and then they make it who and it takes 3 to four months to make it now. I don't even know if they would make it. The problem is that there is nothing available.

This is what, so my The next question is: Have you used this thing, friend, and just found a used Mo? I mean, Mercedes used, so we have three used

engine

s. Dave, we have three used engines and they were all junk. Every one of them, you know what I'm trying. to do here mate, I'm trying to find a good core, it's 10 grand, 8 to 10 grand, you know, a used engine, I mean, it's probably like that, I'm just brainstorming with you, you know, the The problem is that the car has a little more than 2,000 miles and that engine has practically no mileage, so you know, what are out there are engines with more than 50,000 miles, you know, yeah, and he just doesn't want that, but no.

I know between what he wants and what he is. I'm going to get two different things. It is a complete construction. I'm not going to tell you there's no Band-Aid here, so we're going to need at least one new pack of rings. A complete set of gaskets. I know you sent me a lot of things that I didn't check in the box. Did you send me rod bolts? I'll send you those, um with the crank, if all you know obviously depends on the price here now, yeah, um, so I'll let me continue. him and Joey, and I'll talk to And on Monday, yeah, okay, let me know what's going on here and hopefully we can fix this right, man, thanks, bye, bye, oh, you gotta work hard, man, to achieve it.
