Hello Tuners,

Here is my last updates:

I didn't receive Alternator (180A) yet, bu I made great progress in installing AMG V8 Kompressor Belt.
When I received tensionners and pulleys and try to fit theim, I noticed that water pump is quite different from the V8 55 with Komp one, because 55K pump holds Two parallel pulleys at the left side of front engine Part N° (113 200 01 01), hopefully I find it at the stock MB dealer.

I had to modify that pump in order to make possible water cooling system for oil filter cooler (I'll post you pics later).

I also modify mounting part which holds little pulley at right side (alternator Belt tensionner).

Another modification consists on water Thermostat, whitch is to be mounted in the opposite direction and grinding a piece of the water pump.

after that modifications, I mounted the new water pump, Kompressor pulleys and tensionners and finally INSTALLED KOMPRESSOR BELT .

I need the Alternator to install the other Belt: in V8 55k engine there is two parallel belts the first close to the engine is for: alternator, water pump, steering pump, A/C compressor and of course Crank pulley.
The other belt is for supercharger.

The german company GERMAN SPOB GMBH IHR ERSATZTEILHÄNDLER FÜR MERCEDES-BENZ GEBRAUCHTTEILE, ZUBEHÖRTEILE UND ORIGINALTEILE --- STAR PARTS --- from where I ordered the alternator said that i'll get it on monday it's 300€ cheeper then MB dealer and it's new brand .

I prefer mounting the engine in its housing when all actions terminated even if there is only two screws to install Alternator.

Another good new today that the RIEGER Body Kit I ordered is during delivery right now, I'll receive it today .

Sorry I could not post you pics right now because I'm at office now and I worked up to 4h30 o'clock in the morning, I had 2.5 hours sleeping, Idid not have time enough to prepare photos.

Keep you posted.
Karim.
