I used to have a 1.8 liter engine in a bus. I romped on it once in the freeway, it sucked a valve, and totaled the engine.
Now I have a 1.8 liter 914 that seems to run good. I've been looking at the cost associated with a rebuild....in the event I ever needed one...and I've decided that taking good care of my engine is a wise course. So what do you recommend? Short of tearing the engine down, I'll make sure that I have good seals in the engine compartment and maybe make sure my valves are always set correctly. I might even run a slightly rich mixture at my carb (yes, I have a carb). Anything else I can do that I'm not thinking of? |
