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   |
