Sorry, I was busy last days.
My project is in progress, I can see the end of the line now.
I had to change alternator, because 55K AMG need a 180A alternator, and the one on the original CLK 240 is just 120A.
Now I installed wiring harness, exhaust manifolds, and KOMPRESSOR

, The engine looks GREAT right now

.
I was constrained to take off the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recyclation).
There is only two O2 sensors, original engine had four.
I'm wating for Kompressor belt tensionner which I ordered from MB dealer, by the way I change the Thermostat to have the pipe in front, because normally aspirated engine 55 thermostat pipe is up and hinders the rotation of the kompressor pulley.
I took many pics, I have to sort theim before sending to you.
Keep you posted.
Karim.
