Has anyone tried roller lifters in a type 4, or any flat motor?

QUOTE(DBCooper @ Oct 29 2015, 12:34 AM)  75 percent here in 914's? Seriously? How many engines is that? Anyone here know anyone who's buying a Raby engine? Well, I am. Jake has my engine too. Pulled it a couple weeks ago to build into his 2270 SR. This summer I picked up my first 914, a 1973 1.7. The body was in great condition, but I knew I wanted to replace the 1.7 with something with a bit more punch. My son and I are DYIing everything else... interior, body, electrical, even trying my hand a little welding. But for the engine I wanted the best and it's beyond me and my teenage son so we went to see Jake to talk about what he could do. I have to say that even though he's just declared himself an a-hole, Jake was anything but. He was incredibly generous and gracious with his time; my boy and I ended up spending the better part of a day with him in his workshop looking at cars, talking engines and life in general. I bought this car as a project for my son and me to have something to bond over as I see him start to pull away into his teenager years. I watched him light up as Jake walked him around the shop, explained how engines work, described what makes an air-cooled engine special, talked about how he was going to get our engine to make more power, and patiently answered every question. Since then my boy has jumped in to our build with an enthusiasm and passion he typically only shows for video games. Together we got the 1.7 running like a top this summer and there were times when he literally took the wrench out of my hands while doing it. I'm beyond grateful for what Jake did to inspire a 13-year-old like that. And incidentally, Jud and everyone else we've talked with at RAT are great folks, too. We can't wait to have that Massive Type 4 in our 914!  Visit to RAT up in Cleveland, GA  Jumping right in  Engine out, now back to our garage to do the interior and fix some other stuff while we (patiently!) wait for the engine! |
