Dropped the engine yesterday and starting to pull things apart - but having internet problems uploading pics.
Putting in AA's new Cylinder Heads & 96mm P's & C's. Can't wait. More pics when I can get uploading to work - downloading is fine.... GN (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1659712197.1.JPG) |

Well, 7 months later, I'm making progress. Too many other projects as always including a like new '81 928 that I was not looking for and literally landed out of nowhere in my lap (yes, was looking for one 2 years ago & gave up), and converting my 20' x 25' tractor shed to a new 2-car detached garage. More on that in another thread.....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/hosting.photobucket.com-21449-1678783506.1.jpg) Have a critical question. First....... Heads & cylinders off. Heads look good, but getting new ones - if I can find them. AA seems out. One bad cylinder. Top end had been off before, re-builder did not get one circlip set in place on #2 and it wore a groove in that cylinder. New cylinders needed too. Good news is the cams look new and so do the lifters. Original. I want to get the 96mm high compression pistons. I've been working on the D-Jet now off and on for 4 years and all I need is new injectors, hoses, dizzy with ECU points. QUESTION: Can I run the high-compression 96mm pistons with the D-Jet? Can the running mixture be tweaked for the difference? TIA, GN |
