Now for the gore.......... #4 guess we know where the shrapnel came from. Pretty strong flood currents in Pennsylvania!

Case looks good to my eye.
JP, can small bore heads be installed on 90mm cylinders?

Hummm....the rings appear to be intact.....cept maybe the oil ring. That could be a chicken/egg deal. My WAG, galling....
non ferocoated piston on a Alusil cylinder.....Musta made *some* noise (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
How did the rod look?

Bring them suckers to the AX tomorrow for "show & tell".
We can set it on the registration desk.

Gotta get JP over here with his measuring sticks to see what we have for a crank.

Shop owner told me the car had never been on the road as a six. Pretty obvious that is true since it has a new Velios tank which has never been plumbed. He said the motor was "fresh" from Motormeister. I intend to call him to make sure and to ask if he ran it before it was installed. Meantime, I don't think I'll be asking MM to build the replacement. I might suggest he order his next one from somewhere else.

I'll post some pics of the interior in a few days. You would never know it was submerged, unless you noticed the high water lines inside the gauge lenses!!!

For the record, my husband will lose sleep over this...he is currently in the pooper and wishes to remain undisturbed! He is moaning and groaning over flood damage!

Stand in line if ya think that MM will stand behind anything unless they are behind you to push you over a cliff...

There's a current "I got got fucked by MM for the tune of 14K" on the Bird Board....besides hiring Cousin Guido to go shoot off some knee caps....nothing will happen.

The BAR has let these assholes rip off people for years.

No thought of trying to get satisfaction from MM. I bought the car assuming engine was a boat anchor (but hoping to get lucky). I just want to get the facts straight, and if appropriate, advise the shop in PA to do business elsewhere next time.

I have arranged to have a 2.7 built to install in the car this summer. If case (7R)and crank are good I will sell them. Head assemblies might be usable, depending on whether or not I can determine what they are!

Wonder if anyone collected insurance money on that "flood" damage? If they did bet that car was being towed all over town in search of a low spot in the road (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I made a submarine a few years ago. S15 on a boat ramp. E brake failed. Boat floated up and jamed against the dock. Saved the truck from going straight down.

The rust issues didn't apear until a few years later and strangely enough the rust started right at the dipping line.

Hope the hidden spots didn't fill with water. It looks like a nice car.

Hi all:

I usually am on the Pelican board and saw is post covering Motormeister.

A few years ago I had major issues with them one being the fact that they replaced the 7R case on my 73.5T with a 5R for no apparent reason and without telling me that they did or why (you can read the whole story on the PP board by search Phoenix and Motormeister). My belief is that they took my 7R cas to build a higher performance engine.

Just out of morbid curiousity, does the case you have bear the serial number 6135540?

It's a long shot, but if I manage to find the case, I'll have something solid on them.

My advice with MM is do your homework, read up on case histories thne make your own decision.

... Oliver

6141129, sorry. I hope you turned them into the cops for theft.
The 73 7R case is the most sought after of all the mag cases and thus worth more..
