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. |

It is a 70-72 1.7L Andy, I saw this motor yesterday and he just wants a driver on a lower budget! He only paid $100 for the motor! The Valves are brand new and the heads have had recent work done. It was obvious that the reason the person parked it was the pulled rocker stud! It looks like he could fix the stud and get it running but the movement in the crank doesn't look good to me! What he wants to know is, if 1/4" of forward and back movement in the crank without the flywheel on is enough to forget about fixing this or not. How involved is it to fix the crank? I don't know enough about how much movement is ok and what is not! I did a search and found this about endplay! Measuring the End Play of the crank |
