The question that has not been answered is the reliability of the 912S
against the 914. Remember that the 914 is a turbo charged 912 whilst the 912 S
is
a 912 with a much enhanced compession ratio, leading, all things being equal
to much greater stress on all engine components. The 914 has not been in
operation long enough to give proper comparisons but I suspect that the 914,
properly maintained and operated with proper care will prove the much longer
lasting engine.
Those of an engineering persuasion may care to comment?
