Hi all, I am new here. So wished I found this site years ago. Lots of good info!!!! Any way, I am getting a lot of smoke on de-acceleration after my 1976 2.0L has warmed up. I was thinking my oil rings were sticking. Also thinking maybe valve guides? The engine was rebuilt in 2000 and I really only drove it until 2005 as a daily driver. The transmission went bad and it wasn't really driven. House and 2 teenage daughters came first. I would putt around at least once a month. I could go on and on so longer story short I have been driving it since 2015 and it has been smoking like I said. A little on acceleration not bad though. Any info would help. Other than that it runs great and my 914 is going into the shop soon for new paint so I am going to pull the engine and transmission. (PS I originally posted this in the wrong forum. duh)

Well a lot of things happened over the last time I wrote, started taking my car apart. Lost number 3 valve seat back in December of 2020 so I took the motor out and putting new barrels/pistons/heads on. I have my throttle body with Phil. I heard good things about him. Funny my car was running perfect. My truck lost a lifter so I put it in the shop and had a new LS motor put in. I was thinking, cool I can drive my 914 as my daily driver while the truck was getting fixed. I had my wife follow me in her car so I could check for smoke. So I have a video of the car running great, no smoke but before we got home I stopped at the parts store to get brake fluid. Came out and tried to start the car and BOOM, big backfire, then clunking noise. I new right away that I either sucked a valve or lost a valve seat, and sure enough it was #3 intake valve seat.

I want to thank all you 914 guys out there because you have given me the confidence to dive into this project, which is almost ready for sealer. p.s. I did weld up the hell hole and it came out ok. won't be a show car but it will outlast me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
