Nope not necessary, in a later video when I remove the timing cover I actually left the heads on. You just have to remove the cams to access a couple of bolts on each head, and then remove the timing gears from the heads along with the pins for the chain guides.
Sam, love your M156 contents! off topic, do you have a video on changing out the engine mount? I saw you changed out your trans mount but not the engine mount! Thanks :)
I don’t yet for the C63 as I haven’t needed to change them yet. I do change them on my ML63 in an upcoming video but that’s a bit different as I had the entire engine out haha
hey, for the main bolts theirs two different torque procedure on WIS, M10 and M9 witch procedure should i use if i have a 2009 ml63? also for the small bolts that hold the bed plate theirs also a M6 and M8 torque procedure witch one do i need to follow? thanks
You'll see on WIS that there's a diagram of the 9 stage torque procedure for each bolt. I know the inner bolts are a different size than the outer one. Follow the M10 torque procedure for the M10 bolts, and M9 torque procedure for the M9 bolts. Applies to all M156s. I will detail this in the next video im currently editing. Everything you need is in WIS
sam, you got some big balls buddy. i just take mine to the shop. ill keep both of my AMG's for a long time.
M156?
I plan on keeping my 63s for as long as I can as well, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered doing all this haha
Nice work my man 💪🏾
You had to remove the heads to remove the timing cover right ?
