What’s Included & Condition Assessment

This is a complete, ultra-low-mileage long block sold as removed. Includes the engine block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, pistons, valvetrain, oil pan, valve covers, timing case, and intake manifold as shown in provided photos. The very low mileage indicates minimal internal wear, making this a highly desirable core. Sold untested unless stated; a professional inspection is still recommended.

Critical Installation & Buyer Advisory

Professional Installation & Precise Verification Mandatory.

• Ancillaries NOT Included: This is the core engine. You must transfer all components from your original engine:

  • Turbocharger, Intercooler, & Exhaust Manifolds

  • Fuel Injectors, High-Pressure Pump, & Common Rail

  • Engine Control Module (ECU) & Full Wiring Harness

  • All Sensors, Solenoids, EGR Valve & DPF/AdBlue Components

  • Alternator, A/C Compressor, Starter, & All Mounts/Brackets

• Electronic Integration is Key: The ECU is married to the injection system. Using your original ECU is typically required but must be recoded to the new engine block via Mercedes-Benz XENTRY/SD Connect.

• Mandatory Pre-Purchase Step: Contact seller immediately. Provide your VIN to confirm this 224hp 642.890 engine is compatible with your vehicle’s software and emissions hardware. Request comprehensive, current photographs.
