I came across this site from a Craigslist ad...

Mercedes Rebuilt Engines

They appear to rebuild the M120 engine.

And this is the craigslist ad:

Finally a solution to the short commings of the problematic Mercedes v12, series M120.xxx found in all 1993 to 1999 SL600, S600 and CL600. And or damaged engines from the Bio-degradable wiring looms that completely disintergrate, become very brittle, break apart, short out and destroy the motors on 93 to 98 SL600 S600 and CL600 V12 engines. (Note: Complete wiring loom and harnesses must be replaced and two new throttle bodies for engine warranty) We magnaflux then remanufacture these engines with new updated parts to eliminate the notorious oil leak and expensive valve train issues. Timing chains and associated overhead quad cams and valves are the weakest points. Ticking, rough idle or excessive oil comsumption are sure tell tail signs that your motor is ready to self destruct at anytime. We have a very limited number of these engines available as a very high number of Aluminum alloy cores do not pass critical tolerences and various inspections. Mercedes Benz no longer supports major overhauls in the M120 series and no longer supplies complete M120 series short or long blocks. We have a very limited supply of these engines ready to ship for $14,500 plus a $3,000 core charge that is refunded if your engine passes our inspections. At Metric Motors, Inc. we know that there are no shortcuts to achieving excellence in the remanufacturing of an engine built to the standards of Mercedes-Benz.

We are a small family owned company of 6 employees. Our shop is located in California's San Fernando Valley in a 6,000 sq. ft. building purchased in 1987. All of our machining equipment is state of the art, enabling us to finish machine our engines to the exact specifications we require. Additionally, we stock a vast selection of engine cores and internal engine parts which we import direct from Germany. Our founder Erich Oeffinger began technical training with Mercedes-Benz in 1947 in Mannheim Germany, specializing in engine machining. Mercedes-Benz transferred him to the factory store in Hollywood, Ca in 1960 with an emphasis on helping diagnose engine malfunctions. In 1980, shortly after committing full time to his engine business, Erich was joined by his son-in-law Mike Elias who's business experience was a perfect match to Erich's technical expertise. Erich retired in 1990 and remains as a consultant.

Fell free to visit the facilities and see our process.

Thank you - Metric Motors, Inc.
