New to this, first post.
Trying to get some opinions on an engine rebuild. I've got a 70 914 with the engine in pieces....should I try to get the parts - pistons, rings, bearings ect. or try to find a good used motor. Assuming it's a 1.7. I know, this is a pretty loaded question. |

I know, this is a pretty loaded question. I guess that depends on what your skill level and what your goals are. I've been bit too many times by buying used motors that weren't any good. If you rebuild your motor you'll at least know what you have in it and you'll have the satisfaction of not having to worry about it. Either way, you'll have to pull the motor. Once its out, you might as well pull it apart and rebuild it. Naturally, its easy for me to spend your money. What are your plans for the car? You might pick up some of your pieces and run them past a machinist to see if the major components are rebuildable. If not, its worth it to find out now before you start spending real money. -m |
