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 |

id get your engine running ASAP !!!!!! you need to get the motor running so it can heat up and boil off the water. now that yoiu have cranked it over, the oil/water mix is now in contact with you bearings, crank, cam etc. and it will begin corroding them too. you NEED to get the engine fully warmed up so the water is cooked out.
dont delay any more, get it running today. it will only make maters worse now that the enigne has been cranked over becuase the water is now every place. |
