After a 35 year hiatus from rebuilding my two 356 and four type 1 engines, i;m looking forward to rebuilding my current, '73 914 2.0 engine. I'd appreciate it if someone could answer a few basic question for me. One question i have is, "which piston cyl kits seem the best as in material, from aftermarket? I understand they would need to be measured - and is alloy finned worth the price over the cast iron finned. I always went with cast iron, with no problems while autocrossing the 356 engines, but that was long ago and maybe the casting were better back then, i don't know. Also who has the better gasket set?
If i where to go with the 96mm kit, what can i expect to pay a machine shop to do the cutting here in the N.E.? and last, how stable is the case? my 356 never needed align boring on the mains. is it typical with a tired 914 t4 to need it. I will of course measure for it? thank you Frank |
