A number of months ago, I purchased a 914-6 whose motor was rebuilt by Motormeister. When I took my car to my mechanic, I brought along all the receipts including those for the motor. The car ran fine however, the receipt didn't list the cam type or profile only "regrind". I wanted to find out.
I called Motormeister and spoke to a very nice woman who said to fax the question to them and they would respond. I did so and also sent the name of the previous owner, his address and the work order and invoice numbers. After 2 weeks with no response, I again fax'd the information. That was about 4 weeks ago. No response. Since I don't have any experience or know anything about Motormeister, do you think I should consider this a dead issue? Could they possibly have gone out of business since I sent my inquiry? Does anyone know these people? Thanks dave29 |

It's too bad that they haven't gone out of business.
If it says "regrind" I could only assume that (maybe) they put in cams reground to stock profile. Although, I would more than likely consider they just re-used the cams if they were worn within their spec, or replaced with ones worn but within their spec. I would just consider the engine a rebuildable core and start the drop and teardown. |
