I didn't make the WCC because of this sound coming from the engine compartment. It didn't get louder when we plugged the tailpipe. I ran a compression check this weekend. Cylinders 1,2 & 3 were 100lbs +- 5%, but number four was only 50lbs. OK, the head is either cracked or the head to piston seal is gone. There are only 4K miles on the engine since Wayne Dempsey, Tom Gould and I built it in 2000. There was a lot of debate at the time on whether or not to include the copper "head gasket" and the popular advice was to leave it out. Am I to regret that decision? My 3.0 motor isn't ready, I haven't even started tearing it down yet, so I guess I need to drop this 2.0 liter, and repair the head leak, if I want to drive it this summer.

Oh my gosh! That's exactly what happened. The washer under the black wire, grounded to the cover. It looks like somebody took to it with an arc welder. Go to my picturetrail site and check it out. If someone can post the picture, I would appreciate it.
http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...2754&uid=598455 The alternator on the top is the brand new Bosch unit. The bottom one is the old unit. You can see that there is a new black box with a wire coming out of it. That wire is connected to another post with a washer and screw. The washer contacted the cover. You can see on the cover picture, it dang near burned thru. The alternator harness is toast. A warning should come in every Bosch Alternator box about this. Everyone in Hell prolly has to remove a 914 alternator, with the engine in the car, once a day. What a PITA. I bet it's a whole lot of fun putting it back in. Bee Jay |
