I guess the only place to start with this thread is the beginning... I have a friend who purchased a 914 to toy with, and he talked me into getting one also (didn't take much talking to peak my interest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)). Well I ended up with four 914's in a package deal ('70, '72, '72, '74). Only one of them actually runs ('74 1.8 FI).
I am not very mechanical, but I have found the best way to learn something is to do it! I was advised by the person I bought the vehicles from that the '70 had ~ $4,000.00 worth of work done to the motor. The problem is the prior owner removed the carbs and for some reason did not protect the openings from the weather and water got into the motor. I dropped the motor and transmission and took the motor to a friend's house who has had some experience with VW's. We took the motor apart and cracked the case. My questions.... What is the recommended procedure for removing rust from cylinders, jugs (?), valves, etc... I will post pictures shortly of the specific areas of rust... I tried attaching a pic to this post, but I was prompted that I reached the maximum allowed size for the post and to reduce the size of the pic. Reccomendations to reduce the size of pics? Thanks, Brad |

Any old or worn cylinders that are going to be reused should be honed and new rings put on the piston.
