See, I NEVER start this on these forums, I get dragged into it..
Anyway, Have any of those "Ventilated Type IVcases" that you have seen explode had my name on them??? Not all 4s are created equal. Many are built by some 911 wrench that doesn't understand the inner workings of this engine and how to unlok its power, just like I don't know those things about a six, or a V8. I have had ONE engine in recent history die at a DE event in a 914, and it was due to a bad JE piston that ripped the wrist pin boss completely out and destroyed everything else. Since you saw that one engine fail 1973914 why don't you share the owners name with me and we'll see if they jive... Kevin and I will be proving the TIV next year in E production, so I don't need to give anything away at cost to prove something.. Maybe if I wasn't 8 months backlogged with engines to build I'd need the extra press- but not right now. At the last DE I went to I saw 3 911 engines lay down as well and one with a Carrillo rod out the top for the third time in less than 2 years.... All engines explode and break, none are immune to it! The Type IV engine got most of its highest achievments in desert racing- 1,000 miles through the Baja is not a small feat. These engines can be made to live, and doing so will get ALOT cheaper and easier come 2005!!!!!!! Got something up my sleeve! |
