Hi Guys
Does it look legit ?
E60 with 967 code from factory delivered in 1994?

Thanks in Advance

Is this the E60 in Dubai? I saw it today on the ramp when collecting my E500. If you would like me to check anything pls let me know.

Yes, to me looks legit. Restamped closed deck block probably (mb serial nbr - strange is only the 60 behind the 12), amg stamping on the backside looks fine. That engine is just a few units ahead of when mine was built. Should be in 94.

Thanks for confirmation I was not sure if 6.0 was stamp on the front of the block

This was discussed recently and I think consensus was the AMG stamp on the rear may be legit.

The question came up because at some point AMG started stamping the front of the block instead of the rear. What we don't know (yet) is when exactly AMG switched from rear to front.

That said, I don't recall ever seeing a random "60" stamp up front by the MB engine serial. Engine #9401 would have been open-deck block. It appears the serial area was ground off and those are new numbers stamped in place, likely to match the original #9401. No way to know if the "60" was stamped at the same time or someone added that later, post-delivery.

Under the cam cover AMG camshaft appears.
So I guess standard e500 does not have AMG camshafts?

Standard, stock 4.2L and 5.0L engines do NOT have AMG camshafts.
