All M117 models were gasoline powered and utilized a OHC (overhead cam) with 2 valve per cylinder along with D-Jetronic or K-Jetronic fuel injection depending on application.
Many M117 performance variations were produced over their production span beginning in the late 1980s, with a handful of fully re-engineered AMG 560 SEC 6.0 “Wide-Body” Coupes being fitted with the legendary M117/9 V-8 engines modified to 6.0-liters with a radically improved quad-cam, four-valves per cylinder, and improved ignition timing. Some versions produced over twice the torque at 1/2 the rpm of unmodified models.
