So last weekend, at the Autocross my 2.4L six started making a distressing noise. It came home on a trailer, and I spend some days trying to troubleshoot it.
Intermittent pinging type noise, not consistent. Compression check was good across the board at 125, good oil pressure, and nothing else wrong I could find. Had a friend listen to it, and he thinks it is coming from the #5 cylinder. Today I drained the oil and pulled the LH lower valve cover. Nothing is out of place and everything still looks good. So I pulled the the screen off the bottom of the engine... Oh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !!! Large bits of bearing material! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) This really pisses me off because I just did the top end on this motor. So my six is down and Betty's 4 is running very poorly, because it has a worn out 2.0 in it. I pulled her 1.8 down to rebuild it. I have all the parts, just need to clean, clean, clean...... |

What I really need is a 964 core long block...... Anyone know where I can find one? You really want a 964? Just loosen some oil fittings on the engine you have and tell people it's a 964. Leaking POSs, as far as I'm concerned. We service a few of them, and they've ALL been apart for leaks ....................... The Cap'n |

Bummer, Clay. I hope you keep it MFI 2.4, I always thought that would be an amazing 914-6 conversion motor.

The Cap'n The reason I want that is because I have all the stuff to convert it to a 4.0L. But the crank in the core motor I have is bad. And my six already leaks oil. :-D I could use a 993 engine also. |

Ok.. now this really sucks....
With the serious demise of my six, I was working on the new motor for Betty's 914. I took the heads to Lyle Cherry to have them rebuilt, and it turns out that BOTH of them are cracked and unusable! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Bill (bandjoey) offered me a set of heads off his old 1.8L engine a while back, so Saturday afternoon I am going with him to get them. Hopefully they are usable. But I gotta say... Wayne (tat2dphreak)... you need to stay the hell away from me!!!! First, I lend you my borescope, and the Sunday after that my car eats a rod bearing. Second, I get the borescope back from you, and the next night I find out the 1.8L heads are bad. Your Bad luck is rubbing off on me!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

well, fwiw, my car is running great now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I actually touched the heads so I guess my bad luck really got on them good.. like I told Leto, nothing I touch is associated with 'Win' I have a good 1.7 head you are welcome to have Lyle fix for you, too if that helps. if there's anything I can do to help you with either rebuild, just let me know, I'll be happy to do it.... if you need me to haul parts over from Wes'... no problem. |

Well Shorty ... I have a good to go 2.4L CIS engine ... all you would need to do is change the P&Cs, heads & cams ... A couple of hours and you're running again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
One of these days I will tear down my 2.7L to see what went wrong. Broken ring land, hole in piston ... who knows. Sorry to hear you knocked #5 rod out ... it seems that #5 in a 6 is bad luck ... superior Deutscher design it is ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I think I'll go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
