Got my 72', 1.7FI out of the shop after having the top end done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)


The car ran well for a day or so, then started to miss at higher revs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)


It ran rather poorly and lacked torque and was'nt "revvy" now at any rpm. I took the car in for 500 mile valve lashing, got the car back and the "power" was good again. BLAH,Blah,blah.........

It seems when the car is hot, perhaps, the "spark" diminishes.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I once needed new dizzy bearings for my 75' 914, is that perhaps what my problem with this car is? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif)

The Az Toy Run would be allot "funner" with full power! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
