I have not worked on my 914 yet, but I was told by the previous owner that "something" is wrong with #3 cylinder, could be valve seats, could be injector or even something with the Megasquirt or a collapsed hydraulic lifter(?)
What I am contemplating is that should I even attempt to fix the 2.0 bus motor or focus on getting a 1.7 installed into the car? Is the 2.0 bus motor that bad hp/torque wise that a stock 1.7 would be a noticeable improvement? If the added cubic centimeters have the advantage what about converting it to solid lifters? Any performance increase or is that mostly for reliability? |
