How fragile are the CDI units from 914-6 engines? Is there a way for the DIY mechanic to evaluate them out of the car?
We don't know the history of the engine. I do know that it hasn't been in a car for over 10 years. We're going to start tearing the engine for a complete rebuild in a couple weeks, and now would be the time to do something with the CDI (among other things) if warranted. A forum member mentioned Ashlocktech does CDI restorations, but I will spend the $350 elsewhere it's not needed for this. Thanks for any experience you can share. P.S. For these 914-6 / 911T engine topics, I never quite know whether to post them here or over on a 911 board like Rennlist. Is it bad form to cross-post? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
