Bud's Benz Engine Detailing Service


This is Bruce Wood's 1967 250SL engine. The engine was recently detailed at our shop. A full evaluation was completed to determine what the engine required before work began. Since the engine had good compression and good leak down pressures, nothing was done to the cylinder head or engine block. Every engine detail job differs in scope of work and cost, but the basic job is the same.

Detailed 450SL Engine

Mr. Woods' engine did not have to be replaced. It was completely taken apart and detailed. People send their SL's and Sedans to us from all over the country for this type of work. Presently, there are four cars going through this type of detail work. If you are interested in an engine detail package, we would like to talk to you!
