Motormeister Options

[dave29]

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

I did the same and had the same response - which was NONE. Whe I called to check the status - Nice woman on the phone stating that it was on her desk and that I'd have it later that day ---- three years ago!

*Some* of their engines have lasted with no problems - others have grenaded within miles of their shop. Complete roll o' the dice - IMHO.

I had my local mechanic check my car out AFTER I bought it and learned of MM's spotty reputation. (Yes, I had a HOLY SH*T moment after reviewing the receipts!) Have an oil leak, but other than that - the leak down looked good as well as everything else he checked.

He was as surprised as anyone to find that is was a *good* engine. (Receipts showed a significant number of new parts, not just "cleaned and inspected". Maybe that was the difference.)
