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 |

Problem with the video: Most people dont have VCR's and TV's in the garage. Its also gets old fast forwarding..backing up... forward...back...back some more.. The book can be flipped from page to page faster than I can work the remote.
I have seen 2-3 new 914 related books released in the last 4 years. There should be NO reason why you cant get a book published. Somebody here knows the name of the publishing company.. I think the writer was Patrick Dempsey (probably related to Wayne) B |
