He's got a 110 motor and $1500 worth of hard to find parts (the worst of which being the one year only 1969 SL90 transmission and the 1963 C90 manual clutch set up) of mine. Has had the motor since October of 2012 after I won the 'recruit new members' contest thing on the 2SC site where the prize was to have a 2-stroke top end done for free. Well Matt was like 'I'll hook you up with a badazz 110 motor' and was gunna throw in some extra work for free. Like lightened crank, lightened flywheel, custom points delete, doing the sub-trans cut out, custom intake as well as jetting, breaking in and dynoing the engine for me. All for free. Since he has had my engine I've bought a NOS Big Al's Performance Products 125cc 12:1 54mm big bore piston kit from him ($150) as well as sending him all the other parts I've been accumulating for the build. Basically as I bought something I had it shipped to him. Matt and I talked a lot and he even called me up on FaceTime to show me the piston kit and some other boxes of stuff from a shop he bought out not to mention all the advice he's given me and what he's taught me about engines so I've always considered him a friend.


See why I've never said anything?



I also bought an 87 ATC200X engine as well as an 84 XR200R 4-valve cam. He said he would ship it all together to get a better discount.

Right now I have a $500 rolling chassis sitting in my living room that I would love to continue working on but I need my engine back ASAP so I can get things built around it. They say that good things come to those who wait but I'm tired of waiting. All I'd like is to have all my parts and that 200X motor back here at home.


I talked to Matt not too long ago right after the Facebook status and we talked for a good while (I was fixing to go ride though so I cut the call short at like 30 minutes or some ought) and he told me my motor was all apart and on the bench and I've talked to his son on Facebook and he told me that he's seen all the parts going to it and that it looks like it should be a fun motor.

Like I said, I'm holding nothing at all against Matt about my situation because it was understood between the both of us that the work was being done for FREE and I told him myself that he didn't have to rush on it and that paying customers come first. But now I'm needing my motor and can't get in touch with him to get him to just ship everything back.


Did any of that make ANY kind of sense?! Holy hell I ramble a lot..
