After driving a 914 with a stock 2 liter I was impressed. I am going to begin searching for one that is ready for installation or one that needs a rebuild to replace my 1.7.
What I need help with is what to check & how to check it when the engine is out of the car. This will be a new adventure into an area I have not yet gone to. Any help will be grately appreciated. I found one engine listed in the 914.com classifieds that comes with the FI. (A big plus!) Right up in Seattle so I could actually go and check it out (if I knew what to look for!). Anyone have a check list or could you point me to one? thanks bruce |

If possible, do a leak-down test. That will give you a pretty good idea of the motor's internals (rings, valves etc.). Oh, and you can test a lot of F/I electrical stuff just by measuring (with a multi-meter) between the various terminals at the end of the wiring harness plug to the ECU http://persweb.direct.ca/aschwenk/djettest.pdf .
