I have a 1.8, and it runs like a bus motor, its a EC 1.8. i can be driving and it will be a 914 for a few seconds and then back to a bus...
so, i did a compression test 4= 80-60 3= 100 2= 120 1 = 100 and my plug on no. 4 is black. new plugs. what could be going on? the valves are not adjusted. and also, i feel like its timed right. but, then you drive it.... and it just not timed right... what could be going on with No. 4? and why would No.2 be higher? because its the opposite side? compensate? im a lone 914'er... and Vdubber... you guys are the only people to ask!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Loosening up the motor mounts isn't going to get you much room. There should be enough room. You may have to remove the heater piping going into the exchanges, but that's about it. It's cramped but there is enough room. |
