  Hey Guys,I bought an engine from the classifeds here and was told it was a good engine but have found out it needs to be rebuilt. I need to know if I get 1.8 heads for this 2.0 will I suffer any loss of power? I found a small crack on the one head I have removed so far. the crack is right next to the plug hole. I know I should have this fixed if I reuse these heads but has anyone reistalled heads with these small cracks with success? I can get these heads that are pictured that say they are 2.0 heads but they look like 1.8 heads. Do you think they might be 2.0 bus heads? What do you guys think? Randy |

Len Hoffman at Ham Inc can fix your heads.
forum name "HAM Inc" http://www.haminc.biz/ Both valves and ports are larger on the 914 2.0 heads. The 914 2.0 heads also have a much better spark plug location. Len can modify your 1.8 heads to improve all three areas, but it may cost less to start with the 2.0 heads. |
