Be aware they're for a bus motor, not 914.

Dished pistons, only 7.6:1 CR

Thanks mark. I did notice they were dished, and he does have the CR listed in the ad. I just wasn't sure if there were any other differences.

I take it back. Although the part # comes back for '76~'82 transporters, apparently they are also US spec for 'stock 75/'76 914 2.0L motors ... http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/technical_specs/914_20_tech_specs.htm

Good price for NOS Mahles, though

I may be mistaken but these are for a stock 914 2.0 US model. All of the US sold 914 2.0s came with dished pistons because of emissions. The Euro pistons have less of dish than the US version and as such the CR was 8:1. These pistons may have also been used for the VW Bus but the bus had a different head and oil dip stick location.

Yes, you are correct. I already retracted my initial post.

Duh, if I could read I would have seen it!

Guys,
I saw some rust on two pictures Herman send me via email. He has now cleaned them up with some 600 grit sand paper and says they are okay. Regardless I am passing on these and responded as much to Herman so if someone else wants them let him know.

Here is the picture that Chris mentioned. I am open for suggestions on a better method to clean them. The rust is on the surface with no damage that I can tell. My only test is running a fingernail over the surface. Can some one with far more knowledge tell me what damage this may have done to the lip? It is my understanding that the surface will mated to the head either by lapping the surfaces together (like a valve seat) or some sort of gasket (running copper on my other 2.0's). I have been tinkering with cars, both race and regular for just over 40 years but have limited 914 knowledge and even less about 914/4's. I have only had 914/4's the past three years so any help is appreciated.

Also, the p&c's are dated 1999 and I'm guessing that this is the first time all of them have been removed from the wax paper. I have had them sitting on a shelf for the past couple of years and never really looked at them closely because I knew I probably would not be using them, since my VW Van idea went away. I thought someone might be able to use them in a street 914, so I posted them for what I thought was a decent price.

I mostly read and buy on the 914 site, spend most of my time on Pelican with the same user id. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Thanks.

Herman

Very reasonable price for a set of NOS Mahles

Posted by: Old Yella Dec 17 2013, 04:31 PM

Posted by: hermich Dec 17 2013, 06:25 PM
