Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Camshaft Adjuster & Head Bolt Wear (M156)

If your CLK 63 AMG has the M156 6.2-litre V8 — that's every C209-generation car — camshaft adjuster and head bolt wear is a well-documented pattern on this engine, confirmed by established AMG specialist consensus. We replace the timing chain, camshaft adjuster, and bearings as standard on every M156 rebuild.

REBUILDING YOUR CLK 63 AMG ENGINE

We rebuild the engine your CLK 63 AMG already has instead of selling you a used engine of unknown history — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chains, bearings, water pump, gaskets) with updated OEM parts. Near-new performance with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

From £3,200

ABOUT THE MERCEDES CLK 63 AMG ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The CLK 63 AMG represents the pinnacle of the CLK range, and it uses the M156 6.2-litre V8 — the first AMG-developed naturally-aspirated V8 with a high-revving character and significant power output. Fitted to the C209-generation CLK from 2002 to 2009, the M156 is a standalone unit that's distinct from the M113 V8 used in the non-AMG CLK models. Its known wear points — camshaft adjuster and head bolt wear over time — are well-documented within the AMG community, which is why we address them as standard on every rebuild. The CLK 63 AMG is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every CLK 63 AMG on the road.

MERCEDES CLK 63 AMG ENGINE CODES

M256

M256 (R190, 2023–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the CLK 63 AMG from 2023 to present. The M256 features an integrated starter-generator (ISG) and electric auxiliary compressor, making it a more modern and efficient design than the older M276 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every M256 rebuild.

MERCEDES CLK 63 AMG ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

Because the CLK 63 AMG uses the M256 — a different engine from the V8 units in the GT 63 range — fitting the wrong replacement or assuming parts from other CLK variants will work risks a compatibility problem that's expensive to unpick. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:

Your exact engine code (M256) via registration or VIN

Your generation (R190)

Drivetrain and ancillary specification

Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build

This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic CLK quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
