The 2.0 914 was achieved by using the old time procedure of off-set grinding to increase stroke with a 66mm crank to 71mm,the big end journal was reduced in diameter in the process ,and then with an increase of 1mm in the bore made under 2000cc .
I understand this development was done by Porsche engineering genius Hans Mezger (RIP) which would have been a "walk in the park for him "considering the amazing race engines he designed. I honestly don't now the benefits of doing this conversion because I've never done it,some say a big bore 66mm crank motor is better as it revs easily in our (light) cars. Engine builders please chime in,rant over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
