Mercedes-AMG M177 Darton Sleeved Block

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.

What’s Included

  • 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

Why Darton Sleeves?

  • Dramatically increased cylinder strength

  • Improved resistance to bore distortion

  • Superior ring seal under high boost

  • Essential for big-power and race-level M177 builds

Important Notes

  • 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.
