Well I had my 914 up for sale for a while. My brother finaly convinced me to keep it. If I get it running he will take care of the body work. So as of now the car has a 1.7liter type 4 Bus motor. The PO did a ring job, but after 300 miles the 2&4 cyl have 30psi of pressure, and the valves arenot opening. I think its the cam. I pulled the motor today, and am going to start tearing down the motor. I was wondering if you knew of any good books that discuss the rebuild of AC motors?
Also What is the differance between the type 4 bus motor and the 914 motor? Would I be better off finding a old 914 2L and rebuilding that? Thanks for any help Andy Rattley |

Is there a "funnel" bolted onto the front side of the case over on the left side at the bottom? If so then it's a Bus engine. If not, it ain't. Could be a 411 wagon (I think) or a 914 engine. Functionally identical.
