Having never worked on a air cooled engine before I'm wondering if it's possible to increase compression of these motors in the same way you do with a conventional watercooled engine.
IE - Head shaving or piston changes? I've got all the bits from a 2L transporter engine that I'm going to put on my 914 EC case motor. However this will mean I will only have 7.3 : 1 compression still. I'd "like" to see it around the 9.0 region but I'm not sure if I can accomplish this without pistons. Has anyone got some feedback? Can I pull this off? Thanks! |

i'm thinking you're gonna want pistons.
as long as you're at it, build yourself a 2056; stock stroke, stock bottom end, 96 jugs. add hot cam, a little head work, carbs, and you should make 110-120hp. |
