The glory that once was.  Group: Members Posts: 1,302 Joined: 15-December 03 From: Mahtomedi, MN Member No.: 1,438 Region Association: Upper MidWest   |
A friend of mine, whom I would trust with my life or my wife, was taking the 914 for a little test beating with me the other day. At about 7k rpm and 15 psi he money shifted me from 3rd to 2nd. He WAS very quick to throw the clutch back in, but...
I now need a new fan belt, as the OEM one was thrown and is slightly mangled at present. More concerning, is the noise it makes now. It isn't the 1 in 4 cycle "thump, thump" of a rod bearing. I can pull plug wires and rev it up and the sound remains. Its more of a tic-tic-tic-tic-tic thing. Due to the speed of the tic tic tic and that it goes up and down with rpm, I'm thinking valves. Not that i really want to think that. Any other thoughts or trouble shooting to be tried that anyone else can think of? I'm thinking to start with compression test, move to leakdown, and submit some of the oil for testing of metallic ick. I can do the compression test and send in the oil, but I don't have the tools for the leakdow. |
