Thanks Scott. I'm actually planning on testing it all again before I pull it. My added concern comes from the dark brown my oil turns shortly after a change. Since it doesn't sound like I'm doing...

Cool. Thanks again Dave. Right now the 96mm option seems to be the most appealing. I will probably have my orig cylinders honed out as you suggest. Do you know of a good source for the 96mm...

Thanks Dave.

Is this something most good machine shops can accomplish?

BTW, have you actually experienced the bottom end failure you describe?

I have a rusty chunk o' 914 in my garage right now. Maybe it's was worth $150,000. Sweet! Man that whole thing went south. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

I had a similar problem which turned out to be the accel cable. The old ones eventually stop allowing the cable to glide freely through the outer sheathing. When it starts idling at 2000rpms, open...

You might want to look further into the rust issue. If it's going to require major work, you might want to pass. If the rust isn't that big of an issue, why not offer $500 or so? You know you're...

I went with the 19mm, and still have stock calipers. It is a little hard, but not bad.

Like Dave said, if you remove those drain tubes, it gives you a better vantage point from the engine bay. Just be very careful to get a good grip on the top side. It is easy to let that slip and...

I'm looking for some creative alternatives to a new stereo in the dash. I have an old AM only radio (I think is original) in my 914, that just isn't cutting it. Now that the car's on the road, I...

How much do you want for a filter? I would have just bought the expensive necked down line, but it isn't long enough. Thanks.

I no longer think it's a vacuum problem. When it acts up, if I quickly press and release accelerator, it goes back to normal. I think the accelortaer cable is the culprit. Has anyone heard of that?
