Air Cooled Engines Explained - Porsche 914 VW Type 4 Engine Teardown - What Did He Actually Buy?

►Buying an old car—especially one without documentation—is always a risk. In this case, FCP Euro's Staff Writer Christian Schaefer picked up a 1973 Porsche 914 around two years ago under the assumption that the seller was honest and that the engine had indeed been upgraded to a larger displacement over stock. Although it ran well, an improperly installed camshaft cap caused a significant oil leak and necessitated a complete teardown.
