[W126 Coupe] FW: Thoughts on engine rebuilders?

[Jonathan Hodgman]

I don't have any experience w/ Noel's engines so I don't feel comfortable
commenting on them.. the last metric Euro engine I dyno'ed made 234HP @ the
rear wheels...this was a supposed 300HP variant w/ the correct EZL/headers
etc, etc..  Considering that on the Very same dyno my US spec white coupe w/
Euro Tri Y's made 227 I find that pretty piss poor.

The only engines I recommend are the one's I use...and those are the one's
from my machinist in NY..the same machinist that is used by the pinnacle of
high end (Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus....)
dealerships in the tri state area.  He's been @ it for over 30 years, it's
him and him alone and not once in 20 years of doing business has an
engine/head/crank etc. come back anything less then perfect.
