So I'll be looking at a car this weekend that has a large rebuilt engine. I'm told it's a 2.0L rebuilt to 2.39 by Gervais Engines (gemvw.com) in CA in 2010. I've never heard of this size engine in a 914 and was just looking for general feedback from anyone here in regards to drive-ability and reliability. Any major issues or concerns I need to be aware of? I like the idea of the larger engine but I also want to be able to put some regular miles on the car. Thanks!

I contacted the shop owner and he said he would get back to me with whatever info he has on the build. I asked him about his Type 4 engine experience and he said while they've done thousands of Type 1 they've probably only done around 2 dozen of these Type 4's. That could perhaps be a bad sign, but I don't know. I'll also mention that this particular car has had an electric oil cooler installed and apparently has an oil leak believed to be from a push rod tube oring.
