Yep, my simple broken exhaust stud from last year has now turned from just replacing the heads to a full on overhaul/rebuild.....
I reached the point of no return when I cracked open the case tonight.... Things on my To Do list now; Balance rotating assembly, lighten flywheel and pressure plate, install HD oil pump and pressure relief springs, intall ARP thru-case studs and ARP head studs, install "Turbo" grind cam and new lifters..... (higher lift cam) |

Mike,
I'm going to drop the engine out of the /6 this summer to fix some oil leaks and clean everything up. I'm worried that I'll develop Dirk Wright's Disease, and end up with a pile of engine parts (and no engine). For what it will cost to do a comprehensive rebuild, I could pick up another engine. Since I really don't want to upgrade brakes, etc... a 3.0 or larger is probably out. Choices, choices... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -Rusty |

A 3.0 is fine with stock brakes.. just step up to a more agrressive brake pad.

914s came with 4-cylinder engines?
