I'm leaving to look at a 914 that is for sale within the next couple hours. The owner doesn't know what engine is in the car, but does know that it was replaced. What can I look for to determine if it's a 2.0 or 1.7/1.8?
Seller says it is a short stroke, big bore engine but doesn't know anything else. |
