The factory Mercedes-AMG M177 aluminum block was never designed for the cylinder pressures seen in today’s high-boost, high-power applications. When pushing the limits of the platform, proper cylinder support becomes non-negotiable. Our M177 Darton Sleeving Machining Service transforms the stock block into a foundation capable of handling extreme horsepower reliably.
This service involves precision machining and installation of Darton ductile iron sleeves, providing vastly improved cylinder strength, distortion control, and long-term durability under high boost and elevated combustion loads.
Each block is CNC-machined, sleeved, and finish-honed to within ±0.0001", ensuring exceptional bore geometry, ring seal, and piston stability—critical for both high RPM and high cylinder pressure operation.
Precision machining of the M177 aluminum block
Professional installation of Darton sleeves
Final torque-plate honing to ±0.0001" tolerance
Ready for custom piston fitment and high-power assembly
Dramatically increased cylinder strength
Improved resistance to bore distortion
Superior ring seal under high boost
Essential for big-power and race-level M177 builds
This is a machining service only — no engine block is included
You may supply your own M177 block or we can assist with sourcing one
Pistons, assembly, and short-block build are not included unless quoted separately
If you’re planning a serious M177 build and want a block that can handle the abuse, this is the starting point.
