914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 1,7 main engine case nuts/bolts

Posted by: larss Oct 10 2011, 11:22 AM

Seems like the main engine case bolts and nuts are heavily glued to the case.
The case is supposed to never have been opened since Wolfsburg so I guess they did this at factory to seal it from oil leaks?

Pretty standard to use some sealant there. I wouldn't take it as conclusive evidence of never having been opened, but yes, the factory did use sealant there.
