Great information. I didn't realize it was a European site

Hmmm, interesting spread on value. I ran the compression test on it today (the right way this time) and its doing 150 psi on each cylinder. Turns out it might not need that rebuild after all! although, I think the rear main seal may be having issue. It also turns out that the plug wires were not working properly. Now that I replaced them the performance is much better.

Thanks again for all the info

Thanks for the feedback. The stick is normal. I am in the LA area. I'll probably make my decision after the roadster get together in solvang later this month. Thanks again!

Not selling quite yet, but I am trying to figure out about how much an A14 with a 5 speed with webber 32/36 carb might be worth. I have a KA24DE that I could put into my roadster, or into another roadster I have. I'm trying to decide if it is worth rebuilding the A14 and selling it or not.

Thanks in Advance,

Thanks! I don't actually need the nut, I need to by a tap to fix the threads in the head.

Received the sensor and tried to install it yesterday. The old one did not want to come out (not too uncommon, I am sure). After much struggle, it came out, but we managed to chew up the threads of the head pretty bad. I am hoping to chase them and get this put back together, but my girlfriend accidentally took the nut portion of the assembly with her out of town and I can't use it to get the measurements until tomorrow. Does anyone have an idea what the thread is? If I recall, I measured the pitch as metric 16. Any help would be appreciated as I was hoping on working on it tonight.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I have an extra 1600 that I was thinking of swapping in, but from what I have seen/felt from the A14 with the 5 spd, I actually sort of like it.

We bought a Roadster with an A14 swapped into it. We immediately noticed that the temp sensor was running well over 250F. However, when we put a temp gun to it, we were around 180-190. It seems pretty obvious that something has been lost in translation from the Roadster dial and the 210 motor. We are going to try and chase the wires and see if we can find anything, but I am hoping someone has run into this issue before and has some wise sage advise to offer.

Thanks in Advance,
