914World.com _ 914World Garage _ which cylinders shall i use?

Posted by: nebreitling Mar 4 2005, 07:14 PM

hi guys

need advice as to which cylinders to run on the 2056... yeah, i know, nickies. but here are the two choices:

on the left, a "standard" new 96. on the right, an "unknown" (german??) 94.

i got 4 of each, just don't know whether to run the new ones or bore the older (actually very low mileage) ones...

you'll note more casting marks on the left one, as well as thicker cooling fins.

First, you go to a machine shop that can use a dial bore guage and have the 96s checked for ovality and bore size. If they flunk, bore out the 94s.

This assumes you have 96 mm pistons already.

End of story

PS.....take the pistons with you so that they can measure them to reference the bore.

truly, the end of the story.

I'd go with the bored 94's. They've already been heat cycled and "aged".

They'll stick within tolerances better. Plus, the quality is better.
