Afternoon all
I am new to this forum and fairly new to 914 ownership, hoping someone may be able to help or give advice?
I have removed my heads and cylinders on my 1700 engine due to pitiful compression and have noticed the head gaskets had gone or been badly installed on two of the cylinders. Looking a bit deeper I have also noticed that the base of the cylinder is fitted with a steel shim of 0.010” thick, I have bought some replacement shims and aluminium head gaskets, lapped the heads in etc but wondered if the shims should have a gasket either side too?
Any help greatly appreciated.
