Thanks for all your replies in advance….
I’m new to the type I4 engine and I am building a 2.0 liter GA motor. I have come to understand that a proper build of this type is very dependent on the combination. I’ve built several engines over the years but all of them were V8’s except my first build at the age of 15, which was a type 1 beetle. I bought this 74 914 about 3 months ago and it ran fine with 93,000 miles on it. As far as I know it’s totally stock, but it was puking oil from every orifice. My plan was to pull it out and reseal it. After getting it out I noticed that there was considerable oil around the base of the cylinders and at the meeting of the heads. I pulled the heads off to clean it up and reseal it, but after my best friend looked at the heads ( he owns his own cylinder head shop) he said they were garbage. Cracks around spark plug holes and at every surface where it meets the cylinders. My budget didn’t include an engine rebuild, so I bit the bullet and ordered a set of heads from AA that are standard valve sizes. I know this is a Chinese product, but whatever needs addressing on these heads he will take care of for free. He is cleaning up the intakes and polishing them, and porting and polishing the exhaust side for me. I also ordered 96mm pistons and cylinders from AA as well. I will also have those checked and sized as needed. I am at the point where I have to figure out the cam profile. I have read for weeks about all the different companies and different cams out there. I am leaning towards the Jake Rabi deluxe cam kit that comes with everything I need. Just want to know which one would be the right fit for me. The car will be a mostly weekend car for me, but I want it to have good driving characteristics as well. Looking more for torque and not some high hp numbers. I have a set of webbers 40mm that came with the car and I am hoping to be able to use these if possible. I’m not changing the exhaust at this time and it is SS headers with a Monza exhaust. Thanks again for your time, Chad. |
