Ok so there is not really a question here just My observations and anyones opinions. I recently bought a 75 914 here in Ohio great car runs well very minimal rust ect. I have just been working through the normal glitches and getting to know my car. Anyway I was suppose to be a 1.8 when it left the factory however it has D-Jet and an EA engine code for a 1.7. I was then looking through some paperwork I received with the car for an engine rebuild in 2003 and the shop in seatle that worked on this car used a vanagon cam and 1.8 type 2 pistons and cylinders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . It now also has hydrolic lifters . Anyone know why this combination may have been used it seems very odd? Cost? parts in the shop? anyway the engine runs well and i guess I dont need as many valve adjustments but i have read with the vanagon cam that I will have nothing above 5k . So right now I am just driving her like I stole it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and I am building up a spare 1.7 I have to a 1911 to throw in the car next year at least that is the current plan.
Ok thats enough for now Thanks for the ideas |
