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 |

have been using "tuna cans" for 20 years on 4 of my 5 914s (one was a 2.7-6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
and if installed correctly and carefully I have never experienced any issues and no oil starvation. These cars have all been heavily AXed and 3 of the 4 have been extensively used on track as well (my current car just has not had the chance to get to the track as of yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |
