I bought this car a couple months ago, and wrestling with problems that I expected, and some I didn't expect.
Dyno shop got a noticeable performance improvement by reaming out the main jets. We played with the timing curve a little bit also. Unfortunately the clutch is contaminated or something and sometimes interfered with torque readings. Now that I've read more about 2366 longevity, I'm not sure I'd opt for it. It sounds great and pulls harder than I'm used to in a 914 though.   |

I've used the UV leak detector kits with success before.
Not sure if I'd do engine or transmission 1st...just don't do them at the same time! https://www.amazon.com/Mastercool-53351-B-P...ords=uv+dye+kit |

I tried to smell the stuff today and it just smelled like oil. But it's possible I don't have a discerning pallet since I'm the guy who thought Coke and Pepsi were the same drink until there was a big fuss about New Coke.
Since the transaxle needs rebuilding anyway, I guess we'll learn more about the leaks and clutch then. Could not induce any noticeable clutch slip today. Engine idles great, and drivability problems vanished when I replaced the DRLA 45s (which still have 35 or 36 venturis I think). Air fuel mixture was correct on the dyno. If it's not a clutch problem, what's the next most likely cause of the power less than other big fours? |

QUOTE(98101 @ Jan 11 2018, 11:00 PM)  ... If it's not a clutch problem, what's the next most likely cause of the power less than other big fours? Camshaft and exhaust. FC442 is a conservative camshaft for a 2366. A 1 5/8" header is too small for a 2366. European Racing Headers have long primaries, better for low end torque instead of top end. BTW, 37 degree full advance is probably way too aggressive and may result in pre-ignition/high head temps. |
