Hi All,
Well, by now this is ancient history & probably by now lost on some old 914thread since it's been quite a while since I dropped the engine. At the time, there was a HARD knock accompanied by really low power. As in she wouldn't pull third gear- knocked HARD - but still got me home. I expected a dropped valve seat & maybe even some piston damage. From the looks of these heads - I was wrong all around. Next step obiously is to split the case. I'm sittin' here basically dumbfounded. What could the hard knock - coupled with could the low power - have come from if it's not associated with the heads? I haven't even cleaned the heads yet - & they look pretty damn good. Pistons look pretty good 2. Check out my picz & PLEASE give me a clue.. Attached image(s) |

Yup. In fact it was missing 3 blades. Engines been sitting on that wood crate for about a year. When I pulled the head today, I heard a noise. Dooohhh - I assumed that it came out from under the piston skirt. If it had bounced around there would be shrapnel marks - I should think. Still don't have it apart yet. I MUST be wrong. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Piston is unharmed. Head looks fine. Amazing how clean they look for as many years they ran. It always ran rich & it looks it. I have no idea the mileage but I can tell you that I drove it most every day since 1998 and it was running when I bought it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
