My second 914 is a project car runs great but it's annoyingly smokey - like if it had to pass smog I'd guess that there's no way that it would. It puts out noticeable amounts of smoke at idle and gives the visible poof on downshifts.
Well, everybody told me that it was due to worn valve guides. Would it be advisable to pull the heads and have new ones put in? Is this even feasable or do you have to go all out and have a valve job too? |
