hello
well i just pulled my motor out of my 600 Sel .. pulled it out cause the was no compression in #10 cylinder... did a leakdown test and was coming out the intake.. thought no big deal , just do a valve job(Maybe replace a few valves)and be on my way..

well after tearing it down. I found the #10 cylinder walls to be scratched pretty bad. while tearing down I noticed traces of Sand here and there

so my question for my fellow benz tech's
1. can you bore these blocks?
2. can you use a sleeve in these blocks?
3. grey matt color inside the bore needed ,

thanks guys.. all an any help appreciated..

I can ask my machinest come tomorrow... I'm wagering there are repair size pistons available. How deep are the scratches??

Drop a line off list if you like.

Jonathan
