Re: Will be needing a new A14

I pulled the A15 of the coupe today and I'll be destroking and deboring it........be installing my A12. The cam is pitted and scuffed, one of the bores is scored, one wrist pin is sticky and a couple of lifters are scabbed.

The A12 is nice and fresh and I'm hoping to get between 85-90 at the wheels. I got 80 out of it before and that was with 35/29 valves and standard bore. My spare head has 37/30 74mm bore and 1 point higher compression. All that should get me a bit more omph. In the mean time I'll decide if I want to use the stock A15 short block or bore the existing one out to 78mm or so.

The eventual goal was to get the A15 up to 120-125 at the wheels. It may be time to leap to an L-series motor after I use up the rest of my A series stuff.
