I talked with a MM wrench, once. He admitted that he would be surprised if they put in $200 worth of parts (his words, not mine) into a rebuild.

Whenever I see a 911 for sale with a painted fan I just stop reading and go to the next ad.

It's too bad they do such a bad job. They could do lower priced quality rebuilds simply by buying the parts straight from the manufacturer and in-house machining and doing lots of rebuilds rather than be a normal shop.

I think this is the "hand grenade thread" all over again.

Simple. EBay calculates feedback for the past 12 months. MM has had only four transactions in the past 12 months, all as a buyer of someone's item--thus, 100% positive feedback because they actually bought these things in a timely manner!

Now, the important part has already been mentioned. MM has not recorded feedback as a seller since April of 05. Any negatives are six years old and off the radar of eBay feedback.

What a crock.

Normal parts replacement includes new piston rings. I'm sure they install new rings regardless of how worn the ring lands are. This is probably why all of they're motors start smoking after a few months.

My former boss sent a 964 engine to them for rebuild, it's currently in progress. For his sake I hope they actually get one right. The crazy thing is that he knows about the reputation, but can't resist the cheap price.

"Our auction is for rebuilding "YOUR" Porsche 1984-1989 3.2 motor, if it’s together or all apart does not matter! "


That auction is for your engine to be sent to them for rebuild. Maybe they can keep a good rating because they are selling a service? It is really just an advertisement.

A few years ago there were a bunch of clowns selling magazine subscriptions and pocketing the money. eBay said it was fine unless a buyer complained. I told them I guarantee a buyer will complain, because I'm not sending them any magazines. They would sell subscriptions for 25% of the list price and disappear after 12 weeks (" wait 8 to 12 weeks for your subscription to start.") Tney and eBay had the money and stuck me with the pissed-off customers. eBay didn't care.
