i am just curious. does anybody know how many diff types of a14 were made? like the a12 has a12 a12a a12gx does the a14 have a similar thing?
thanx DAVE

P.S. my 1200 manual has all the wheels road tests for the 100 and 1200 i could scan them if any one would be interested

scan them up. scan them up!!
i dont think there were variations on the A14 like there was on the A12. may be like the A15 one with oval ports and one with round??

ok then i'll scan them as soon as possible. the reason i asked about the variations is that my a14 has the engine number then B on the end. i thought i coulda got a special one but mabye not

inkow the A12 and A12gx , what was the A12A?

The A12A was introduced from 8/79. The only obvious mod is the bore size increase over the A12. Details are sketchy..

Bore: 75mm
Stroke: 70mm
Conrod: 121.5mm
Block Hieght: 189.1mm
Displacement: 1237cc
Power: 69hp

The A12GX is an A12 engine with racing configuration, sold in the GX cars so that it could be legal for racing (homologated). There was also an A14GX engine in Japan.

The A12A is an A14-style block, different bore and stroke from the A12.

So for the A-series, there are:
A10
A12
A13 (1974 only)
A14
A12A
A15

actuall the a-14 came with a round port head and an oval port head, oval is the better one

the a-15 only with an oval port head

Quote:

OK, so the basic types are:

A14 with round port head
A14 with oval port head (most common?)
A14GX side-draft engine (Japan only?)
A14 EFI (elusive forklift engine)

Every year in every country the A14 is a little different. For example, US engines have EGR and the head has air-pump passages in the oval port head.

Was there really a round port A14. I've never seen one.

i stink i have but not 100% sure now you say that
