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.
