Latest pix. I have to drill out & helicoil two bolt holes since they were butchered by someone else (at least the broken bolts have been removed now).

I wonder if that W140 V12 was the one I saw not long ago at Lorbeck’s?

Wtf!

Here I am partly answering my own question 12 years later!! Stamped differently, but they appear identical. Could the differences be internal?? If so, what?

What Liquid Intelligence product did you use??

I sometimes wonder if they positioned the injectors close to the ports to cool the valves?? It looks like they spray directly onto the back of the valves

Well I’m close to returning all outsourced fabrication to my original choice, since the current mob have been sitting in their hands for the last 18 months! Not helped by me having to move everything once again, but now that job has been completed I can get back to my intended projects. Talking...

A few other options but not sure if any are NLA

Pix are only a fraction of what I took! I abandoned the idea of taking a dedicated camera in favour of a newer iPhone but it can be a pain to unlock to be ready for a quick pic. The best part about using the ph for pix is uploading them later.

FYI the fuel pump relay isn’t located in the position depicted in this pic. I’m not sure if Skyes was relocated or a slightly different version but it’s the relay at the front of the fuse box or top left in the pic. I discovered this since there’s no active 86a socket in the top rear plug.

Huge turnout this year!

NLA headgaskets now available for the 6.3

The fuel tank might be toast… I couldn’t even blow through the strainer!! When I first got the car 20ish years ago I replaced the pump & filter without cleaning the tank & realised my mistake when the new pump started making weird noises not long afterward. I definitely won’t do that again! I’m...

Some TLC required….

I will be throwing a few of my period correct AMG goodies at this car, plus some later performance items. I will definitely retain the original engine but could look at a M119 if time, funds and space allow…

Years ago I bought a smashed 420SEL just for the single CD Becker! Those pix are from when I pulled it out before selling the rest of the car. Since Dora is such a rare car it’s about the only mod I’m prepared to do to it apart from wheels. Dora currently has a dodgy Sony head unit so I’ll be...

Haha well it is a tight squeeze but you can just get in and out! If you’ve had a big meal then maybe not…. The other car in the container is ‘Midnight Express’ my black/grey 560SEL on LPG. That’s my test mule for the EFI, but I’m not butchering the car & will be keeping it long term. It will...
