The 1972 914 I bought is supposed to have 103mm Nickies (by LN-Engineering) with JE-forged pistons.
The car caught on-fire, so I had to remove the engine. After doing so I find that the cylinders are magnetic. Nickies are made from Aluminum, so this is suspicious. Is any of you able to recognize the make of the Cylinders in the below pictures. There is one picture with some marking on it. I do not want to disassemble the engine any further then needed. I only own this car for two weeks now, but going up a very steep learning-curve. very soon I will be able to help others. But for now I'm only asking questions. Br, Hans Jan |

I think Chris is right, the 103's just about touch the studs and yours appear to have some room.
I have a set on my motor, but it is not something I could take a picture of at this point. Maybe McMark or Mark Henry could show you.....they both have/had 103 mm cylinders. Rich |

Rich Good spotting,no machining gone on there,just plain old AA 96mm kit,most likely has the original Chinese rings also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I use Loctite sealer around cylinder bases never had an issue,this is case/component sealer,never saw RTV in the label,nevermind each to their own,we all know what works for us. Really hope the owner can sort this with the seller,fraud involved here ...no question. |

Then I probably won't have the 'custom' Camshaft and Crankshaft with 'performance rockers and lifters either. It is the policy of this community not to defame its members. The seller is part of the 914world community. So... Lets leave it with that. Maybe I can report in a few months that justice has taking place. Thank you all, for your support. Br, Hans Jan |

Buying an item represented one way and then receiving another would (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) a lot of people. If you can pm me the individual involved so I can avoid this person's future f/s posting. Thanks |
