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 |

Dave,
Please write a book on this crap. If Wayne can "write" a book... I know you can collaborate as well as he can. Write a "How to rebuild your T4" book. The ones available currently.. are close to worthless and old school. B |
