Again you dont know the facts . When i read that Kevin had a problem with the Motor I send him a mail and asked him what was wrong and
if i could help him . He replied and says ; I dont know if there is a Problem yet because it is to cold to work on the Car . The Problem with his wiring Harness was paid by me ,even so i had this Motor in a Car running ,this was a matter of the different wiring from the Conversion Kit Harness . If somebody buys a Engine from you ,with no garantee drives it 5 K miles hard ,than opens the Engine to find broken rings,broken Valvesprings,oval cylinders (all signs for overrev/overheating ).I bet you dont pay him a Dime . So please know the Facts before you attack me .

Richard:
That is about as untrue as it gets. I call a spade a spade and tell the truth all of the time, some people just have a hard time accepting it without the sugar coating.
<br>
Once again Richard, your pie hole has opened in a thread that it has no business in, have you purchased a 3.6 from Harald?
<br>
Why don't you stoop to the level of some of the idiots on this BBS and start a "What's Embs's Problem" post like some other Beavis did about Loren from Systems Consulting. Sad thing is, the goofy@ss moderators left the post open.
<br>
Like me or hate me, I don't give a damn. I'll always say what I want until I have no air left in my lungs.

Don't you mean 'cake hole'?

cake, pie, donut, etc. etc.

I hadn't heard the pie-hole term since the Sheriff Jack thread. LOL.

Todd
Have YOU bought a Engine from me ? I dont think so .
But you did send me a lot of Emails asking for help with different issues
and did I ?
Harald

Yeah I am sorry Harald, my engine just needed 10K or so and a case. Plus the problems a few other people have had are just minor little issues like head jobs and P&C's etc. I guess I have just blown this out of proportion....

ignore list...beauty

Todd
You know that i sold this Engine ,almost a year before you bought it to somebody else in the US . Than it was used on the Track and sold to you a year later ( in good running Condition afaik ).
Do i feel responsible : NO
If you had bought that Engine from me direct would i pay for the Damage when it is clear the Engine had a Problem which i didnt see :
YES .
Harald

Wow just stubled upon this, im famous, actualy Harald and I have had several issues to date and he has made good, its to cold here to work on the car, I have decided long ago that i wasnt gonna trash Harald on this board as long as he takes care of things, We have a major issue comming up, if you dont hear from me in the next 90 days on this you know he took care of it, as far as miles my 100 miles on the car with the motor in qualifies, Kevin

My engine is finally back together too. It was recased with a case Harald sold me which worked out great, I also balanced everything from clutch assembly to crank/rods and pistons. As this is the only way you can use a single pulley on a 964 engine. I also added raceware rod bolts and Euro RS Cams from WEBCAM and Aasco springs and titanium retainers.

I am using 993 heads (all rebuilt by Aasco) and injection/DME.

As for my engine - why the rebuild? I bought it rebuilt from someone in LA, with a repaired case. I took a chance because the price seemed great. The case repair started to leak oil so I decided to recase it. When the builder took it apart he found 3 broken head studs and the list goes on.... such as blocked oil gallies. So I am trying to look on the bright side, If I had run the engine as it was, it probably would have blown up. In which case I would need a whole new used unknown engine.

So I am out a few more thousand and have a known quantity - Hopefully.

Hallo
That rebuild Engine was not from me ,just the case to get the Engine
(from a US source ) running .
harald

That is true, Harald did help me wade through my first round of
3.6 crap via email, also sold me an O2 sensor, some HE's and a cat, all of which were perfect. I am not saying nor have I ever that you were an unhelpful person.
<br>
What I am saying is that I believe YOU have knowingly sold motors that had much more wear on them than was disclosed to the buyer. It is easy to hide behind the "it's a used motor" so anything could happen crap.
<br>
Without being able to verify mileage and/or the motors operating environment, no one can dispute anything.

there are People that BELIEVE and GUESS and there are People that stand behind Things and proof it .
One thing is for sure ,we do not belong in the same Group .
Harald

Todd, you might want to consider taking a step back on this one and looking at what you're saying.

Harald didn't sell you a motor, but gave you free advice and sold you good parts. Am I right?

And the two people who had problems with their engines have both posted saying that he stood behind his product and helped make things right.

And then, from that, you're saying he knowingly sells bad motors?

Am I missing something, here?

So, what would a rebuild cost and how much time to complete? Those were conscerns when I bought my car. The engine source was unknown. I knew it was a possibility, and wouldn't have bought the car if I couldn't absorb the cost of a rebuild.

BTW, what would a rebuild cost on a 3.6?

My deal was a bit unique, The person who did my engine is a factory tech and race machanic who also builds his own race motors and cars.

He charged me 30 hours labor and I had another $3k in machine shop and parts. Figure $5k minimum. But I added new cams and did a extensive balancing which was about another $1200.

This is really a reference point, I talked to shops who deal with customers who supply blank checks and they said they get $10 - $12K for a 3.0 rebuild. :eek: On the other hand my engine was at the builders house for 7 months..... so there are trade-offs.

I was guessing @ $ 8k-$10k w/ a sport cam and valve spring upgrade package. Looks like your rebuild was within my budget. The 7 months would be winter months in IA. of course.

Also, did you notice a differnce w/ the new cams and balancing?

Harald has my endorsement as a guy who is fair and honest and goes out of his way to help. We in the USA are lucky to have a resource like him available in Europe. I have and would do more business with Harald Julicher without reservation.

My Motor is not back in the car yet. My car is having a cage installed this weekend and I will put it back together the following weekend.
