Sorry to say my upholstery guy sent his customers 2.7 to them recently. As soon as he told me where is was I told him to get it the heck out of there. He too can't get a hold of anyone, just those sweet, nice girls who keep overlapping thier excuses. He's meeting with his Atty today just to try and get the stuff back. What would be the best way to get that stuff out of there asap, and to verify it's the correct stuff from that engine?? I'm in the bodyshop business too and if we pulled this stuff I've read, the BAR would be all over us !!!! Has anyone delt with the BAR or got a opinion from them on wht they constantly get away with this? Any suggestions are welcome and I'm so sorry you guys went through this, unreal.

He's going there today to attempt to retrieve the motor as he and his atty advised what time his client is to be there to pick-up, was told by girl there that the client "needs to make an appointment to pick up his stuff. The atty replied "we just made an appt with this phone call as my client "will" be there at stated time and if you don't open your doors and return his belongings, he will file a litigation claim TODAY !!!. Update this soon, wished him luck, what a mess.

[QUOTE=dcjones56;7695394]Did you go there and try to get your engine back? If so, what happened? QUOTE]
Oh, I got it back. 4/15/2013 3 years 2 days . Had to call Downey PD. A lot of details in between, I'll leave out because those details can be used against MM. In the end, Jerry Jr, stalled us for 6 hours while they rushed to assemble the engine. We could see that through the fence. Being in the collector car market for 30 plus years, you deal with all kinds of BS. Motormeister screwed me from day 1, and that was their intent, I can prove that beyond a doubt. I gave Jerry Jr. the opportunity to prove me wrong, to deliver a quality product in a timely manner for a fair price. He grossly failed at all three. I welcome anyone, even Jerry Marks Jr ( aka Roy, aka Jerry Marques) of Motormeister, to visit me in Wisconsin and listen to this knocking, rattling, hammering pile of crap. Prove to me that this "rebuild" is with-in "Porsche spec" as Jerry Jr. says( I have the email). |

Most likely MM assembled an engine using your identifiable crankcase. As for the other parts that were originally a part of it...... Did they claim to rebuild it too?
If so, since the recently rebuilt/assembled engine has yet to be run, it would be interesting to perform an autopsy of sorts; document its disassembly and inspection in the presence of an objective engine rebuilder, then post the results wherever you'd like - here, for example. I'm sure many would contribute a small amount to cover the expenses of such an exam. MHO, S |

I had to laugh when I watched one of they're YouTube videos. Demonstrating everything a previous rebuilder had done wrong and the cavalier attitude of the presenter stating that they could repair everything. The parts would be refreshed was one of the catch phrases which got me started.

I have several of MM contracts, the ones I signed that matter, the unsigned rest are Jerry changing the terms to extract more money for a job he failed to deliver. I have over 400 emails with this company, plenty of incriminating ones, thanks Jerry Jr. There is more paperwork to rebuild this junk than build a space station, I'm not joking. |

My guy got very lucky !! And, with the help/phone call from his Atty was able to get the correct engine and parts back !!! They tried to give him the run around all day long but he was able to get it back and take it to a reputable mechanic in San Clemente to get it done right. It hurts he has to start all over with the money and time lost as I assured him that's a lot better than 1-3 years to get your stuff back at 2-3 times the cost. I'm still shocked the BAR hasn't gotten involved with this company....Good luck to all involved with these people......

I've read enough. To any of you that are seriously contemplating going after MM In court, if you are willing to cover reasonable travel expenses I will evaluate your engine and act on your behalf as an expert witness. My only stipulation for doing so is that you do not settle out of court. There needs to be a finding of facts in a court of law and an entry into public record.
