Damn this stuff is like greek.I have either a set of 2.0 bus heads I could rebuild, or 1.7L 914 heads and I'm just wanting something I could cruise with for 100k miles.
I understand these new valve seat installation methods are much better than stock, and i printed out len's pricelist and i'd need somethign like this. 1.7L 914 heads: *Install Valve Seats ($30.00*8)=$240 *Install Valve Guides ($100*2)=$200 There arent any cracks on these heads that I am aware of (currently running them now, no problems) Should I send them bare or with valves so the valves can be matched with the head? I dont care about performance, I drive 65-75 and dont care how long it takes to get there, just as long as its reliable to 100k miles at least. I wish I lived next door to someone who could be like look man, you need this done, and it'll be this much, and if you do it yourself with my machines you'll get it done cheaper or something to that effect. b |

QUOTE(bd1308 @ Oct 17 2006, 06:41 PM)  mostly from busses and from 2.0 914s. should be all bus engines....which is where most of the type 4 motors were used. only 115k 914's only 200k 411/412's there 1.7 will be ok for the bus but I would build it to run as cool as possible! |

see thats what I was thinking of later....
Boy would I be pissed if I was stuck somewhere and the tow bill is $400+ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'll run this 1.7L out and then build a nice engine for my bus from Len. Geoff, set me up with a bus combo, please? |

I have 1.7L heads I bought from Rich. They look only gently used, and was run just a tad rich, judging by carbon deposits.
and in the meantime, i'll build up the then-dead 914 1.7L engine with Len parts too. |

You have it with the 9950 cam and good heads with bigger valves.
