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) |

QUESTION:
Starting on installing new 96mm Biral P's & C's next week and new heads in my original '76 2.0, and this question came to mind...... SHOULD I INSTALL HYDRAULIC LIFTERS to replace my original solid ones? I know the purists will howl about keeping original, but my good friend Rick B (RickB45) has one of the sweetest almost Concours 914's I know of, and his rebuild 2.0 engine has hydraulics in it. What are the real, logical reasons to stick with my solid lifters, and same for going with hydraulic? Even though I have a full shop and lift, I would love to not have to adjust the valves as often as the Type IV needs it.....AND I do have my other old P-cars to maintain too: '81 5-spd. 928 and '87 944 S........ TIA to all who care to advise..... GN |
