hi,

fat lando here. I've finally moved to bremerton and am going to start my engine rebuild shortly. Still waiting on my tax return, but as soon as i get it watch out!

Any way, this is my first rebuild, so any local advice or assistance would be appreciated.

I can exchange guitar lessons or even provide a few drinks

let me know!

Welcome! I know a machinest around my neck of the woods that has euro P/C's and heads for a 2.0. Both used, but in great shape. Show us some pic's of your 914!

welcome to the site and to Kitsap! I needto get Jake's DVD on engine building http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/store/home.php?cat=317 as well. I have rebuilt them by the seat of my pants, I think it would be fun to learn how to do it correctly!

To all,

thanx for the warm welcome. I just removed my starter and what a feeling of accomplishment.

I took it off, because when it comes to these cold mornings it kills my starter, then a few whacks on the solinoid it starts. ( i know that's not right) so i took it off to replace it.

There's a place in Monroe called getcoolparts.com, anyone have any dealings with them?

For the prices they offer it's kinda hard not to notice.

cya soon

If you take your starter in for an exchange, make sure you get a 914 one as they will sometimes give you a bug one. They have a similar number but the starter gear is different and the bug one won't engauge the ring gear on the flywheel.

Order one from PP, GPR or Paragon Parts or maybe a local guy like Kevin (rhodyguy)has a extra one to sell.

Kevin is in tacoma. Rhodyguy is his club moniker.

i'm not sure what you plan to do with this rebuild. i talked to warren williams recently and he is trying to sell a bunch of fast stuff from his 2.0.he's returning back to fuel injection and concour...some good deals maybe.
if you need a 914 starter, i have boxes of good used starters. $25.00,come get it

hi, welcome to washington and don't let this nice weather fool ya. get a new starter, or you can do what i did which was put on a used one and have it crap out half way to california. it's more fun to put on a new one and start your car everytime you turn the key. hopefully some will take the reins and plan a breakfast.
