Hello. I'm joker on other forums, I'm Not sure if I should be posting here or will get kicked out straight away, but I'm currently running 914 engines in a 1972 VW double cab
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i747.photobucket.com-17118-1394872306.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i747.photobucket.com-17118-1394872306.2.jpg) I have 2 engines, a 1.7 WO with 40mm dellorto carbs and LA performance exhaust putting out around 100hp and an 1.8 AN. On return from the above drag strip a rocker shaft sheared and I've suffered some noun or damage to an exhaust valve. The questions I have are, where is it possible to buy valves for these engines? I understand that they're all odd sizes valves compared to the usual 'type 4 bus engines' and that they also have sodium filled valves. Is this last point correct, and if so where do you guys get them from? I plan to take the AN code engine up to a 2056 with 44 weber idf's, web cam, vintage speed exhaust hoping to push around 140hp to get me a better strip time, sub 18 second at least. The 1.7 will go back to being a street engine. Hope you can help, the usual VW suppliers in the UK carry the usual bus engine parts but its hard to find listings for 914 engine parts Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
