Anybody ever buy a rebuilt motor from Motor Meister?
Hey,
Just browsing through Panorama and was looking at the Motor Meister ad in there for rebuilt engines.. looks like you can get a long block 3.6 for 5495. Seems low. Suspiciously low.
Anybody ever put one these MM engines in their cars? Are they any good? (and no, my car does not need a motor (yet).. just curious).

There is a TON of bad press about Motorsheister on the Pelican board, enough that there is a class action lawsuit in the works. Its a shame that PCA still allows those crooks to advertise..

A few years back (1998) a little bird told me a story about a nice gentleman who purchased a 3.6L motor from them, that according to the CHP, turned out to be possibly/maybe/then definitely stolen, the bird said the gentleman lost 7k on the deal 
.........remember, it was just a story that a little bird sang to me

Good F'n Luck! 
You see the (red) car to the left of this blog, when I got the engine from them it was leaking oil like mad from the get go! It lasted about 4 hours when the #5 piston let loose at Willow.
And when I wanted to pick up the car, they wanted to dump it at the body shop where it had been getting work done to avoid the embarrasment of handing off a piece of sh-- rebuild!
Thanks to the POC and PCA mags for letting them advertise - $$$$ hungry complacent ********!. No one would bad mouth these F's either.

Enough said! They're a POS operation!! Thank RL again for saving you from intense dispair. If we spread it out over the whole RL members it doesnt hurt as much, except for the $$ lost.

Having seen the internals of 3 motors here that they rebuilt, its my opinion that you can find better folks to do a quality rebuild.
Do your homework.

Yes, my engine is doing fine (knock wood), I was just curious. I'd rather put a good used engine in a car than a dodgy rebuild any day anyway. And a good and proper rebuild may be better than original factory spec, but I doubt I could afford one.

A little nature lesson, if the birds are up high in the trees it's usually a cat. If they're near the ground it's usually a snake.
