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) |

O.K. I got seven of the studs out two were bent and the one that is left will only unthread part way out before it stops. I tried a little liquid wrench and some WD-40 along with a little heat but could not persuade it to come out. It appears to be staight enough to work I can get the EMPI 34's on now. I was hoping to use the insulated gaskets and longer studs but I don't want to risk tearing up the threads. Even with two nuts and a lot of force it didn't want to come out. Tomorrows project daul carbs!
