Beware of seller German Motor Werks Spindale NC (asheville) 828-980-3625 He sold me an S52 engine he claimed to have been good running condition with less than 60k miles. We removed the head to find it was severely warped. The head bolts were also so loose we removed with them a 1\4 inch ratchet. Cylinder 1 spark plug was stripped and re tapped and installed saw 1/2 higher than the other cylinders. All the cooling passages were rusted shut Cylinder 1 has a chunk of the piston missing from what looked to be detonation, or possibly spark plug broke and was run with parts in the cylinder Cylinder 3 has severe deep rust pits in the cylinder walls. Theres no chance this motor ran without smoking and sealing properly. I paid $2500 for the motor in cash and now he isnt responding to my texts or calls but as soon as I call from another telephone number he answers right away. His solution is he wants to give me a New head and on piston so i can rebuild the motor. Does anyone else think this is absurd? Im trying to run a business and install a claimed good motor for my customer. Not this garbage. Also if anyone has leads to a good used S52 engine please contact me. Thanks
