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 |

Sorry, it appears that I have to recall the message about the cylinders being the correct size. Just recieved an email from AA rep, explaning that I measured in wrong place. At the moment I still dont know what Size they are.
This is the medsage recieved from AA. Could anyone here decypher it? Im trying to find the cylinder size without disassembling the engine/heads. Hello Hans You got that number form the top of the liners not the bottom right? It was the head size? And you want to try to get it in between the head and the liner it can’t be in between fins it’s a different reading there.. Yes it’s an AA liner but what pitons can be someone elses you will not know until its pulled apart.. |
