Engine -apart-
VW Type IV ( Porsche 914 ) engine taken apart in February 2010. Needs rebuilt and assembled.
Cleaned up stock heads w/ double springs,
1.7liter 90mm pistons & cylinders, race cam, baffle plate, oil plates and fittings
I took apart the engine due to cam bearing in the oil. It has a 3 stage oil pump. I feel there is a a slight gap where it slides into the case. That should be addressed. I was ready to buy a Eagle cam 494 from CB Performance for more mid range - $100. And lifters too. The current cam came with the car. I think it is from its race days in the 70s. It like to rev from 3500 and up. I've been limiting the RPMS to 6000-6500.

Extra hi-compression race heads - they need shop work, seats, fly cut to accept 2.0 liter cylinders
8- 1.6 liter 87.7mm (rare, hi-comp with valve relief) pistons and cylinders
Clutch plate.
Misc engine bits
Some Weber jets
Haynes 914 book
Notebooks - 14 years of scribbles.

Trailer: separate enclosed single axle 6x14 V nose, New in 2005 $TBD pending future plans.
