I bought my 914 on eBay (I know, stupid, but let's move on) and the owner said it had a Big Bore Stroker 2.2L engine, upgraded from stock 2.0L, freshly rebuilt. The mechanic who went over it, adjusted the carbs, and fixed some other issues said that because the compression was 140# in the cylinders, it could not be a 2.2. He said it would need to be 180# or higher in order to be a 2.2, and he couldn't say for sure unless the engine was torn apart, which of course I'm not going to do. I've taken different PCars there for over 20 years, and they have a very good rep in the St. Louis with the Porsche crowd, so I trust him. Any thoughts on this issue?

I was wondering if there is a way to determine the engines displacement with out disassemble? I know my car is bigger than a 1.8 by the seat of the pants method, but would love to know just what it is. Previous owner said it was rebuilt to bigger bore. I am guessing a 2056 rebuild but not fully sure.
I know racing inspectors have a way to tell displacement in post race inspections, any idea how they do it? |
