914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 2.0 Problems?

Posted by: jnp914 Mar 23 2004, 12:40 PM

My admittedly limited type 4 experience has been with 1.7s. Now, I am getting a 2.0.

Any acknowledged weak points in the 2.0? Any potential problem areas I need to stay on top of?

I know the heads can tend to crack, esp. around the spark plugs... and they do tend to drop a valve seat more often than a 1.7...

lmao...

still, it's an emphasis on the steer, not on the power.
