So I was a happy 914 owner, just got a great deal on a set of dual carbs and went to install them when I found that the two top studs seem to be pitched at an angle! WTF! This engine is from a parts car that's going to go into my 72, I thought I would dial everything in before I did the swap. My question is what type of heads are these? Also I bought the intake gaskets that have the insulator plates it now looks like I'll have to use a regular thin ones, where can I find them? I'll get the dremel out and make the intakes fit, I guess!
Thanks, Jsaum Attached image(s) |

Put two nuts on the stud and then put a deep scoket on the stud and straighten it with a big closed box end wrench over the socket to use as a prybar. Put the bottom nut where you want the stud to get straightened.

Put two nuts on the stud and then put a deep scoket on the stud and straighten it with a big closed box end wrench over the socket to use as a prybar. Put the bottom nut where you want the stud to get straightened. "Straighten it"? Have you looked at a T4 head lately? You have a hard steel stud screwed into a soft (and abusively heat cycled) aluminum head, and you have about 10mm of engagement into a boss which tapers upward to about 3-4mm thickness. Bending that stud could either be successful or destroy the area of the upper corner of the intake port. You get what you get, and your chances are 50/50 on a GOOD day. The material you're messing with is barely thick enough for a helicoil, so there's VERY little room for error. Think about it ................... The Cap'n |
