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. ![]() |

New larger lower bearings are split bearings, you will see when you remove the old ones....so those are simple.
Upper small top end bearings will be installed by a machine shop and honed out to match the new wrist pins. For the AA cylinders, bring them to th machine shop to check for being round, listen to the advice, it may end up better to machine out your old cylinders to match the new Pistons I'd the AA cylinders are too far out of spec. You can always flip one over on the passenger floor for a decent looking coffee cup holder. It is common to replace the camshaft so, Elgin and Webcamshafts are two vendors that sell them. |
