I have a 2.0 GA code engine. I was wondering if anyone could tell by that what kind of lifters it has, solid or hydro?
Thanks,
Jon |

| No, hydro lifters weren't ever used in a 914 from the factory |

| not sure if they made a hydro cam for the 914's but to do a swap you would need that and the lifters |

The bus came with hydrolifters in 78 in the GE code engines.
I have heard of people trying to run hydro's in a Djet engine but it doesn't like it too much do to the vacuum signature being too far from the stock cam.
I ask why? Solids give you more hp and rpm than the bus cam as it was ground for low end hp and peaks at 4000rpms. It really falls off after that so the comment that it gives you more rev's isn't true.
A Web142 cam gives you a brand new 914 2.0L cam grind and if you are rebuilding the engine make sure to use brand new valve springs. You will be able to rev to 5500 no problem and not hurt the valves. Old valve springs will also slam the valve into the heads leading to dropped seats. |
