Well I bought my 914 Sunday. Started work on it today. Let me first tell you that the rear deck lid was pushed back so the engine cover wasn't closed all the way. Also the throttle was stuck and one of the carbs was wide open. So, subsequently rain poored in through said wide open carb because one of the wing nuts that held the aircleaner on was missing. Drained the oil today and the first quart was pure water the rest a nasty grey mix and at the end mostly oil. There was no signs of rust in the water or oil as I believe this occured recently because the accident that bent and pushed the rear decklid happened recently and the car didn't sit too long. Anyway, I'm open to suggestions, I suspect I should probably tear the engine down and rebuild. But if there is any other option (besides dropping in a different motor) I'd love to hear it? Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Josh |

Before you start it, pull the spark plugs and turn the motor with the starter. Disconnect the coil first. after it turns, try to blow out the cylinders with compressed air. Put it back together and try to start it. If there is any water in the cylinder, you can hydraulically lock up the engine and possibly bend a valve. After you drain the diesel and put new oil in, be prepared to change the oil again to get any left over diesel and water out.
