Do you mean molybdenum? 'Cause if so that's good stuff, it raises melting points, hardens other metals, and reduces friction. Nissan lightly coats all engine parts of their VQ35 with this stuff.

Yes i ment molybdenum. Well but it is only as good as your engine builder....

And he messed up my engine frown.gif

I will have to stop the engine rebuild for now and will have to get a lawyer. Look at the pics. you can see he did not interlock the sleeves. He cut the outside and pressed them in beside each other. Further he painted the block including the inside of my oil feed.... This could seriously damage my engine. He refused to listen and laughed at me. He said i could come by and pick up the engine.

Now everything seems a bit strange to me. Why were the camshafts bent, why is the head suddenly not right. Everything was ok when it arrived! Well i am a bit pis***d of now. We nearly planed a year now and we (i) spent so much money and shortly before the finish line. Someone stops you.... like that!

What now? Will i get a new block, new sleeves, a new head and camshafts from him? What else is damaged? Or will it be hard to prove it and i will loose the engine, my moneay and the court case?

I do not know. But i think i do not deserve that.....

Well i will let you all know...

Ok Restart the topic....


It has been a while...hmmmm well yeah quite a while since 2006 frown.gif
To make a lon story short. The engine rebuild went totally wrong they f*cked up my engine. And i mean the whole job: Camshafts bend, straightend and bend again. The block has been destroyed as well as well as the Sleeves ....

Well after i paid him!!! I received my semi well re-re-rebuild engine. The Head was still not good. So i decided to bring it to Chris K. and i shipped the whole mess to The US.

The engine arrived last week and he will give me an update soon.
I hope we still can use some of our parts!!!

Anyway i do NOT want to talk about waht exactly happened or what i should do to this wannabe engine builder here in Germany, or how much money i spent. I do not want to talk about the past! Ok? Please respect this wish!!!

I want to look into the future! smile.gif

During the last month i got contact to one of the best rollcage builders here in Europe and he built me an fully tig welded rollcage smile.gif I will soon send you some pics.

I bought new seats as well... But this is a suprise.

so long Jörch

Ok Here we go... The first pics of my new cage just arrived. It looks quite well from "here". But take a look yourself:




and a second one smile.gif




What do you think ???
I will have to get the car cleaned inside and then i think the best thing would be to get the old colour of (san blast or something like that)
I will then get the inside of the chassis coloured in matt red and the cage in matt black.

That's BA - nice work. I think you have excellent taste in color schemes [but I guess I would laugh.gif ]

New pics arrived today smile.gif Now we can see how it comes along. But as well it is a good bit of work ahead...

I got dizzy while i watched the pics.... 1 Because the cage is so cool smile.gif ad 2 because it will cost a fortune and a lot of work...

What do you think? Do you like it???






I kind of like it wink.gif

Here are the news:
Ok I managed to spent a lot of money got my block rebuild badly, the guy had to do it again, then we packed it in a box sent it to the US and now i hear.... That i sent a box of rubbish kindasad.gif I do not know what to do .... The rebuild has come to a sudden end after i waited 3 yex 3 f***ing years.

I will need your help. Please help me with your advice!!! I will start a new topic which i will link here:

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=61737

When the decision is made how we carry on i will reopen this thread.


BTW. During the transport two valves were bent as a cause of bad packing of the box frown.gif
It doesn't look like it woul come to an good end after all.
