New to the type 4 and 914 world, Noticed that Empi has two cylinder heads available for the type four. has anyone used them yet? If so, how do they compare against the heads that are available? Cooling? Flowing? Quality? Are the Empi heads worth buying compared to what's out there now? In the type 1 world, Cima/Mahle cylinders seem to be what to use with good success. Are Cima/Mahle cylinders available for the type 4? If so, from whom or where? And while I consider Empi heads and Mahle cylinders, what about new type four cases? Are there new type four cases available? Or soon to be available? I know with the VW type 1 new cases solve many problems. Thank you for the time and information, Steve V,

I haven't heard of any source for new Type IV cases. Pauter used to make some "universal" aircooled VW cases that were very different from all of the Type I and Type IV ones. IIRC, they were intended mostly for drag bugs but were sometimes sold to 914 folks as well.
No idea if they still make 'em. --DD |
