I purchased a deep sump kit for my 73 914 2.0. My mechanic cautioned me against installing it, saying he's had a fair share of 914s with the deep sumps that had engine damage from dragging over speed bumps and other daily road hazzards.
I'm curious if anyone here has a deep sump kit on a street car, and if so is this a major concern? Thanks in advance for any thoughts! -Rob |

If you think you drive hard enough to starve the engine on one side, then do a tuna can. That said Autocross is the only time I've seen this possible for a duration that matters....
