I need some education engine that is, for my 914-6 Options

[freezing14]

Ok i have the engine apart,, the oil was white,, not a good sign but all the parts are moving freely once the cylinders are off,, will do bottom end anyway,, here is where i need education,, i am looking to keep the cost down,, so i am looking for a set of used piston and cylinder, my pistons are ok but will buy whatever makes sense,,

as i shop around for old 911 engine gear, i have seen that they have E/ S / T version,, what is the difference??, is it just the cam, what was the -6 original came with
????, i have seen piston set for sale but they the valve pocket seems deeper,, is it just my eyes or what

If you go with a full set of pistons and cylinders from an E or even S, It will bump your compression but I don't think you HAVE to modify anything else.

it will be a high compression T motor that doesn't have the benefits of a better cam or better breathing heads.

I'd not bump the redline since you won't have the associated hardware to support it, and T crank anyways.

you'll probably have to fiddle with jetting.

A dyno or wideband can help you with that.

Since the T pistons and cylinders hold the least resale value you might be able to pick up a used set cheap.
I've seen E and S stuff go for as much as a grand for a used set.
