While leaving cars & coffee I heard a little back fire and a valve train noise on the driver side. Towed home and searched the cyber web and I determined that I experienced a dropped valve seat. I'll drop the engine tomorrow and pull both heads because I used a not so hot engine guy last time. I need to search out a good heads to purchase. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Please feel free to make fun of me or suggest a good source for new heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The engine guy insured me that the heads were in good condition and he was up to speed on type 4 engines. I have hopefully learned from my mistake and with help from the 914 support group not to repeat. This is not the first but the most costly event to surface since he took over a year to finish my engine.
Just venting. Brian |

It the builder did not replace them he is not up to speed on Type IV motors. FAT Performance requires customer to sign a no warranty waiver if seats are not replaced at customers request. You don't really need a new head. Just replace all the intake valve seats. If you do get a replacement head keep in mind the chamber volume should be matched to the other head. |
