Engine Blew In My C63..

[@LegitStreetCars]

My guess is stuck injector and a hydrolocked cylinder. Its possible this engine is still good! Pull plugs, drain fuel, replace injectors and plugs, change oil and go do a big smokey burnout! Rods don't always bend. Good luck Mike!

[@numberone7674]

or head-gasket blew

[@MariuszChr]

Oh yeah, because you know. JK LOL.

[@ChrisCebelenski]

None of what you wrote is correct - In fact those two things aren't even related. Stuck Injector = it would miss and be rough, but otherwise fine. Hydrolocked, well, you kinda need to suck in water for that. Nope. It's either timing, or an oil problem because it won't rotate. Either way = Rebuild Time. And Yes, I got the "joke". It would be funny if he had hydrolocked two of 'em.

[@bradroesler7072]

The head gasket blew while you were driving which caused coolant to go into one or more of the cylinders. This caused the vehicle to run poorly which threw on the engine light, and smoke to come out the exhaust. When a restart was attempted, the coolant-filled cylinder seized the engine up.

[@carycoplon5681]

If it was white smoke then most likely a head gasket or a cracked head. Possibly also hydolocked. Very rebuildable if this is the case.

[@gregferris9378]

Very similar to what happened to a pickup truck I had. All it was is a blown head gasket. After it sat some coolant got in the piston area and hydro locked the engine.

This looks like a blown head gasket. New engine is not required and would be a massive waste of money. But it will need a teardown and rebuild. Not expensive part wise, but lots of labour. The white smoke typically means coolant is getting inside the engine. Some really bad luck you have with C63's! :(

[@rosewd2]

Well thats strange ! Id pull the valve covers and see if the timing chains are ok, check valves & cams. Easy to do. Then the plugs to see if its a bent valve. Now an injector could have stuck open and hydrolocked it, but i kind of doubt it. Or a head gasket failure, but thats not likely either.

Gave it a huge thumbs up as always! Going to be interesting to see what went wrong with the motor all the sudden. That's super scary bc I owned an 2013 E63 several years ago and I had computer trouble with mine, which led to erratic shifting. Luckily it was under warranty bc it ended up costing $13k!!! If I owned it out of warranty I wouldn't have been able to afford that. I've since sold that car (I miss it everyday) but it taught me a valuable lesson, not to buy something like that if you can't afford a major repair. Not saying you can't afford the new engine, I'm just speaking about me and that whole ordeal comes to mind every time I purchase a vehicle. Helps keep me within my budget.

@@AndrewAMG_ I am fully aware, but I have personally seen 4 M156 engines that were WELL after the VIN break have revised bolt failure.

@@JAKEaudio2 do you have any pictures I’m quite outspoken on the headbolts since mine popped and mb offered no assistance regarding it so every chance I get to badmouth them I do. Not so much as an apology. After doing research I find it hard to believe the second generation bolts have failed it’s pretty much impossible.

[@JAKEaudio2]

@@AndrewAMG_ unfortunately i do not have any pics of the revision failures(they weren't my personal cars) but I absolutely understand the skepticism as I thought the same thing prior to seeing them myself. I will say this though, they did NOT appear to fail in the same manner as the originals did(stretching at the head or head popping off), they all appeared to have backed out a little bit and then the threads on the bolt were torn away. Also, in each one it was the very rear bolts. I know the VIN break was supposed to provide salvation for the M156 but what I've seen says otherwise (at least to a small degree). But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my M156 for all the tea in China!!! Matter of fact I just replaced the adjuster backing plates with ones from 63Motorsport, at just over 300k miles and it runs like a brand new scalded dog. Original M156, 722 AND rear end.

@@JAKEaudio2 great with my luck I’ll have the second failure too, it’s the first I’ve heard of it people all over the world where contacting with their stories back in 2016-2018, hard to imagine 1.5” of thread letting go. My car failed in 2016 with 35,000 miles it’s got 38,000 miles on it today.

“If you have the money”

[@ChrisCebelenski]

If he can't turn it, then there's only a few options - It either blew the timing and then had a valve/piston collision ( = Not Good), or it spun a bearing causing a bent rod ( = Very Not Good). The latter is usually a lubrication problem - if your oil was fine, it could have blown the oil pump, and then see above. I believe the pump is cam driven on this engine (as opposed to driven from the timing), but if it was from the timing it could have been both a timing collision AND oil starvation, and then you usually get extra vent holes in the side of your lower half and "piston McNuggets". Isn't that special'?

[@lowryda187]

I personally think the tune is responsible...too much timing or not enough to cause incorrect air fuel mixture and bang! and yours is the PP so its good from the factory...i think tuning these will cause major issues!
