A couple weeks ago I was given a folder of service receipts from the original owner of my 914. Inside I found what I really wanted - the receipt from the engine rebuild in 1988. What I think are most notable are the 96mm pistons, reworked heads (for $401 - must have been new everything?) and the 272deg camshaft(?). I was wondering if any of you type 4 gurus can give me some feedback on what all this means.
As for how the engine runs after all these years, it is very cold-natured and runs like crap until it's good and warm. After that it's quite peppy and smooth. I've never driven another 914 so I have no reference to make a comparison. Any comments?
