I was looking on the web and found a Porsche engine rebuilder in Downey Cali. called Motor Meister. Does anyone know these people and/or know if their motors are reliable? No disrespect to them but I would like to see some references from people in the club, if possible.

Motor Meister, Porsche Engine Rebuilder

Do a search on "motormeister" and I think you will find your answer. They do not have the best reputation.

I did and i didn't see anything. maybe i didn't spell it right. Thank you!

Do a search on Pelican Parts 911 technical forum. Search for "Motor Meister" and "Motor Schiester". Sit back, relax, and take a couple hours to read the first-hand accounts. Then be grateful you asked the question.

Oh Hell! I guess I did spell it wrong when I did the initial search. Doesn't look so good so far! Damn. Reputation is everything these days. Thanks guys (and Gals)! I appreciate the 411.

Roy and his crew of scalawags have worked hard for that reputation! You'll be hard pressed to find a good recommendation anywhere on a Porsche related forum.

The Cap'n

One of the most derided names in the business. No personal experience but after you've read 20 or 30 horror stories - and some of them include scenes of catastrophic failure - that's good enough to get an idea I think.

It may be "turnkey" but I wouldn't stand too close when you do turn that key.

Sounds like this place is to the Porsche community what GEX International is to the VW community.

run from MM...
but having said that the three litre is awesome
i can't belive any one would want any bigger
...but by next winter mine will be a 3.2

You may be paying for "turnkey" but you won't get the "n" ...

never heard of a positive account from Motor Miester



however, the 3.0 is a great motor, and fun in a 914

classic!

and another thumbs up on a 3.0 in the 914; they are starting to get old so find a good one to start with. A friend up here has one in his '74 and it is fantastic to drive

If you want a "real" motor, built by the best, that is fuel injected and brand new, except for a few break in hours on the track, consider buying the motor out of The Beast. It's a 2.7 RS specification.

Hmmmm -- I might be interested in that one...

is that high-butterfly or regular MFI ?
