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. |

that piece wedged under the cam looks like a valve seat. What do the heads look like? What are your head plans?

that piece wedged under the cam looks like a valve seat. What do the heads look like? What are your head plans? I think that piece was from the hole in the case. There were several pieces like that in the case; that was the largest piece. I'll have 5 heads to choose from; 2 from the holed engine; 2 from the 2nd engine; and one head I picked up separately. The one head was supposedly good but I found one of the exhaust studs was stripped out. I'll probably take them to whatever machinist I go to and have them decide which heads look the best and probably reseat, revalve, respring, and rework the 2 best. There are 2 shops recommended close to me. The one Zach mentioned and one in Easton, PA recommended by a 356 restorer. |
