So. Did a compression check on my new 914. 90/90/85/90. Adjusted the valves. No change. Added some oil to one cylinder. No change. I'm guessing valves. When I got this car it had a bad exhaust leak. Come to find it was missing all the copper gaskets at the head and both collector gaskets. I'm not the expert when it comes to heads. But I'm guessing the missing gaskets could have caused some damage at the valves? Especially if it was driven a lot like that? So my question is. Any recommendations for someone on a budget? They are four bolt intakes so 1.7 or 1.8 heads. Not sure really. Anyone have a used decent set for sale? Any advice as far as getting them rebuilt? I'm in So Cal.
Thanks! Scott |

Based on your VIN; your car is a '72 ?
IIRC, that is a 1.7 motor |
