MIKES / MOTORWORKS™
THE ENGINE WORK HAS BEEN ONE OF MY PASSIONS FOR THIRTY NINE YEARS. WITH MY FATHERS GUIDANCE I COMPLETED MY FIRST MAJOR OVERHAUL ON A 1958 VOLKSWAGEN ENGINE AT AGE EIGHT. I HAVE COMPLETED NO LESS THAN SIX HUNDRED AIR-COOLED ENGINE OVERHAULS. THE ENGINES ARE OVERHAULED, BALANCED, BLUEPRINTED TO FACTORY SPECS AND ASSEMBLED WITH GREAT CARE. ENGINE REBUILDING AND RESTORATION REQUIRES A PHILOSOPHY AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF ENGINE DESIGN AND PROPOSED USE. MY ENGINES ARE OVERHAULED WITH A SAFETY FIRST APPROACH.
