Well long story short had a buyer lined up for my 2.7 powered early 944 and my later 89 parts car,I park up the 914 and in my head think the running car will go again but after cranking find the reference and position sensors are faulty, replaced them and got the right result.
Then I lost spark sounds like another 914 story as the ignition switch in the early 944 is a very similar part,all is good after replacement and have spark and injector pulse,progress I think but engine is cranking slow,sometimes firing but @ what appears to be out of order .
End of story have really bad cold compression in 2 cylinders and a nasty ticking Noise on turnover with plugs out and quess what bent valves,not impressed.
Being a 2.7 it has a one year only head on a 3.0 block so the valves are NASA prices because the inlets are huge (48mm).
Wasn't pleased so pulled the cover of the 914 and started it ,made me feel good for a while,so next question an otherwise nice 944 is worth little now....I suspect little ?
I may drink tonight .
Dang! Now two parts cars. Can you make good $ parting it out? Maybe time for a V8 conversion...
