stentgraft95 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hey I was just wondering what the engine signatures mean if anything? I'm sure there's already a thread from this from days-gone-by and I would gladly take a link. A search yeilded me nothing notable. But I was wondering if any of the signatures on the engines were more notable than other signatures as far as reputation. Apologies for the repeat subject if in fact it is.

Black Sunshine Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Two ladies assembled my GT500 engine (Kimberly and Geria). So, a woman's touch went into mine. Don't know if that's good or bad. I prefer to have warm fuzzies about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm not sure how my builders rank, but I think it's cool to have their sig's on my car. Anyone else have these folks? (looks like last names of Boise? and Deitch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Oh man, sorry to hear of that. Man what a scam that was when those two got fired over the loose bolt on the flywheel issues. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan1521 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Both my builders were retired back in February. They built niche motors for a long time apparently. I guess that explains why my motor has held up given everything I've thrown at it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that explains why my motor has held up given everything I've thrown at it so far. Both my builders are also retired. I was told that they built niche motors together for about 10 years. I guess they knew what the were doing. No problem to report so far, but then again, my engine may not have to endure as much as Kaylan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stent I was on of the fortunate ones at the Romeo Plant Tour, I met both my Engine Builders and got my car signed.............sweeeeeeet............. Jeff and Bob wery very nice...... it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! One interesting thing I did learn, is that as we know, 2 people built our motor, one person assembles our engines, and the other torques, then they switch on the next motor. The only thing I wasnt sure of, is which one meant what on the tag, if the 1st name is the assembler or torquer? Then the 2nd would have to be the other. Anyone know?
