This message seems like jibrish. Can you please ask a specific question and provide a link to the engine in question?

For a long term 914 motor and owner, you or someone who is known well (ie Jake or McMark) should know about every part of your rebuilt motor...

It has a pretty paint job! Really can't tell you anything else based on that auction. If I were you, PM McMark and get a run down from him. I think he has engines for sale at originalcustoms.com

Someone here bought a 2.4 T4 that guy build and sold on ebay. I don't remember who it was. Perhaps he will chime in on how the engine he got has turned out.

I know him.
Michael Schantz. Maybe 23 years old. His dad used to work on 914's. Michael is in Cal Poly Pomona getting an MS in mechanical engineering. Really nice kid. His work looks nice, but most everyone here is spoiled on Jake or McMark's work, so Michael is fighting an uphill battle on 914World. I have seen 2 of his engines, one was a bus engine adapted for a 914 1.8 Not sure about what parts he uses either. I have bought used parts from him, including 2 bumper tops. He certainly is good at what he does, but I know no one that bought an engine from him. His brother is working at liquidating a pile of parts they have. Michael will be restoring a white 914 2.0L when he gets out of grad school. Again, a really decent guy, but don't know his engine work. He knows about everyone teener-linked in the Riverside area quite well. John |

The guy who bought the engine may have had no problems with it. I don't know. I was just saying that someone that posts here has bought one of this guy's motors. Maybe its a killer fast engine.

I dont know how guys can build something GOOD that cheaply. it takes me days just to measure everythng. it takes even longer to clean EVERYTHING. then add up just the machining costs.
balance pistons rods flywheel p-plate, align bore, decking, tap oil plugs measure heads, cc, deck height, pistons, cylinder bores, ring gaps, bearign clearances, valve geometry HEADS, rebuild, weld, machining, cores, valves, seats, guides, springs "The $5k Engine" is a long block. there is a therad about it and it is a good deal for known parts combo. a tru pro has measured and made sure everthing works together. read carefully. he explains alot http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=42456 |

Grad student . . . his time is cheap, I know this. ME student, likely knows how to use micrometers, calipers, depth gauges, etc. Remember I said likely. Getting an MS degree so he is probably pretty thorough. Probably. Engine development is tough, engine building is not if you are thorough and meticulous. Making a couple hundred for pizza and beer as a grad student while doing something that is therapeutic after studying all day is a good deal, even if he is only getting paid a few dollars an hour. ME students should enjoy stuff like building engines, sadly very few do.
Don't assume what he is doing is crappy simply because he doesn't seem to be charging much for labor. Just my two cents. -Chris |

last thread asking about him had a few references chime in positively. any builder should be able to provide references upon request.

So, if I rebuild my old engine myself and it runs... Who wants to pay an embalmer to build an engine for them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whack_3.gif)
I won't undercut myself on the hourly rate! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whip[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
