Hi guys in case you have not seen a M100 crank and piston conrod . Here is the crank from one I killed years ago going to have it powder coated to use for a letter box. Crank angle is 90 degrees to each journal.

Ok 560 Air Cleaner arrived today . I went over to Genie Started on pipes going to be balanced . The cross-plane crankshaft and resulting firing order on MB V8 engines (well, M116 and M117 at least and I assume M100 has the same firing order) mean that the best pairings are cylinders 1 & 3 and cylinders 2 & 4 on the right bank and cylinders 5 & 6 and cylinders 7 & 8 on the left bank. So we are doing this as it is optimal to making power last set were compromised. To fit drivers side some metal has been removed from the drivers side engine mount. See picture also attached is photo off design I am after fitted to M117 engine.

Hi guys while doing extractors steering damper was removed to allow better access while doing extractors . It was found that my steering damper was no longer of this world. So ordered new on this morning from MbSpares at $48 less than half price off ones I found on eBay.
