I need a crash course in the 914 engine. What are the differences. Are the cases the same and crank and rods different? Cases different? I need to rebuild mine and would like to try and do it right. Joe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have the opportunity to by a 2.0 motor for $200, but with no sheet metal.

be careful with "a" 2,0 engine.

people have been known to sell the 2,0 T-IV bus engine for 914 applications.
the compression is a lot lower and most important, the heads are different.

it's a 2,0 engine all right, but it is -not- a 2,0 914 engine. check carefully.
if the heads have the 3-stud intake retainers, you'll have the most important part.
there is no way to know what kind of pistons you have without removing the heads. for that matter, you have no way of knowing you are *really* getting a 2,0 crank and rods without checking actual bore and stroke ...

be careful, check everything.
