Finally getting into building a 2056 for my 914. Plan is to rebuild one of the two 2L engines I have with 96mm AA P/Cs. For induction, I have D-Jet from one of the 2L engines with a good MPS and set of Weber IDF40s. I would like to stay with FI but will consider using the Webers.
The engine will have ceramic coated SSHE along with a Bursch muffler. The first engine I bought was advertised as a 2L core with FI. In reality the engine was "cored". There is a hole about 3/8 x 1/2 inch in the case. Looks like the engine was run even with the hole as there is a good amount of dirt+oil on the fins of cylinders 3&4. Also one of the spark plug threads is stripped on cylinder #4. The seller said he would give me a line bored case that he has but I've yet to see it. I bought the engine in Aug of last year so I'm losing hope of getting the case; This ranks up there with one of my worst purchases. Since the first engine's case was trashed and the seller hasn't come through with the promised replacement case, I purchased a 2nd engine from Brad Mayeur that had been running. This one came with the Webers and likely will be the basis of my engine. |

Next question: Are used 94mm P/C's worth anything? I'll have 2 sets when I'm done. The first set seems ok; no visible damage or scoring.

Here's the first one: How do I remove the oil pump cover? I've removed the 4 bolts but the cover won't budge. Did I miss something or are there more screws/bolts? Loosen some of the case thru bolts near the front Then you can pry on those tabs to either side of the pump. A little at a time and you can work it out. Next question: Are used 94mm P/C's worth anything? I'll have 2 sets when I'm done. The first set seems ok; no visible damage or scoring. You can have the 94 Cyls bored out to 96 and will be as good as new (or better). If all of the fins are intact, they are worth saving. |
