The 2.0 914 heads were only used on the 914 and the 912E, and were apparently redesigned by Porsche. They're quite different from the 2.0 Bus heads, with a different spark plug location, and a different chamber shape. There were still produced by VW, but never used by VW. They made quite a few more than just two versions of many parts. There were several cases and at least four different heads, and that was jus the 914. The 912E had still more parts unique to it (including a gearbox ONLY used on that car, of which only 1400 examples were made). jamesm --- Jim Adney <jadney@vwtype3.org> wrote: > On 1 Jul 2005 at 14:08, Park, Keith J (Research) wrote: > > > I finally got the 2L 914 engine that will go in the 71 Torn down. > > Interesting the changes on the next generation design.. solved alot of > > problems of the T1 based unit, created a few new ones and yea.. it seems > > they leak oil from every seam too.
