I have recently come to purchase another 914 with a 2.0 motor. I am contemplating doing an engine swap, replacing my 76 hp 1.8 with a 95 hp 2.0. I originally wanted to build a 2056 (still do) but then this car came along. The car allegedly has 72,000 miles on it. I don't have much history on the car other than the fact that the PO bought the car in 2000 and the inspection sticker on the windshield is from 1994.
I want to assess the health of the motor and see if it makes sense to do the swap. What is the best way to do this? Leakdown test? Compression test? The motor does run, and I should be able to drive the car up and down my driveway (it's long) to warm it up. |
