Motor Meister

[denson]

About to have a 1970 911 T motor re-built. Will build it up without messing with the cases to about 160hp.

Anyone know about Motor Meister and their history? Or have thoughts on some other reasonably priced motor builders?

Happy Holidays

Do a search on the PP forums.

These are just a few of the threads that would tell me to stay very far away from them.

Speaking from experience - Find some one who will actually rebuild your motor!

Thank goodness for the internet.

John,
You might also do a search under motorscheister...Seriously, they pop up under that name too....

If $15,000 strikes you as reasonable, you'll have a number of choices of competent engine builders. Do the math on the hard parts and the machine work, you can get to that number or more pretty quick.

Guys:

Thanks for this information Time to move on real fast. Glad I did not ship it.

My 356 S motor was re-built by Walt at Competition Engineering and I cannot tell you how well it was done and how happy I am. I built it to rally specs (original numbers matching and did not touch the cases). Puts out about 120 hp and is now a different car to drive.

Thought I could save a few bucks with Motor Meister, but will go back to Walt.

BTW; Walt is a great guy and his work is outstanding.

Thanks, again.

John,
Now you are talking. With prices for early911's jumping, why save a few grand on a questionable rebuilder? Spend the extra money and have the fan housing polished, linkage etc. replated, and the engine compartment cleaned up.
It's an investment at this point.

John,

I didn't realise that Walt rebuilt engines. He did the machine work on both the 2.2S and RS cases for the rebuilds. Yes, he does fantastic work. I can't believe I didn't ask if he did entire motors.

Guys:

I think Walt is mainly a machine shop. He seems to really like doing specialty type work like these early 911 and 356 motors.

His work is perfect in all respects. I waited 9 months, but knew it was for a reason. He is also a cool guy that is fair and has been doing this for a loooong time.

Yep, better to spend the dollars and get the best. All good thoughts.
