Looks like there were at least 4 other 914's in the yard. Someone needs to save them.

Was that one in Oklahoma? I think I looked at it a couple years ago.

Lots of recent photos. Some I'm posting here just so I don't lose them later on.

My first time getting this far into an engine. Trying to figure out what needs replacing. Any initial thoughts on the condition of these lifters? Still useable if I rebuild the 1.7?

Hold them nose-to-nose. There should be a slight crown to them, so they should only touch in the middle. If they're flat against each other, they're wiped.
At a guess, they look pretty wiped... --DD |

Those barrels look like 96mm "slip in" type ,really thin @ the top (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .
Plan on getting your heads bored out if you stay with 96mm piston kit ,its a good upgrade from stock anyway. |
