Had a terrifying event with sticking throttle linkage today- the stupid thing hung in the torsion spring for the trunk! I was driving hard, let off gas and slammed the clutch to shift when - rrrsssssss- 7K rpm before I got shut off! Well..... no carnage. no hideous noises. Straghtened out the linkage problem. No apparent ill effects. Are the valves gonna pop apart next week? I have not found one yet, but wonder if there is a rev limiting rotor available for a mallory dizzy? Should I expect horrible things to happen soon? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

If your engine is an interference engine, meaning the valves actually are timed specially to not hit the piston at specific times then there can be potentiall catastrofic problems. Heck I don't even know if a 914 engine os this type.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If all of your valves are sealing (no popping out the intake or exhaust) and there is no rod knock, then your cool. Un-nerving at worst. Maybe took 1K miles off of the rings (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) A leak down test would tell alot if your really worried..
The automatic rev limiter is called valve float. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |
