Hi All,
Well, I've been planning this since December. Finally got all of the tools & parts. Ran out of excuses. Did my first 914 engine drop - by myself - using the PP method. Worked like a champ. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Two hyd. jacks rock!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Now the cleanup begins. Any suggestions of stuff (in the engine bay) to replace while the engine's out??? Thanks!!! Attached thumbnail(s)

Great suggestions - Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
I have a spare car to get me around so I'm gonna attack every piece of rubber I can touch. I know your not gonna believe this - but I can't find any rust in either hell hole, none under the battery tray either. I'll get a better look after I clean everything. I failed to mention why I had to pull the engine; it had started to "knock" at an idle after it came up to temp. Did that for a couple of weeks. Then one day I stopped for a few minutes on my way home from work. When I started it, the "knock" was ten times louder than it had EVER been. So loud that I was tempted to shut it off and call AAA. But I was about a mile from my house so... I popped it in gear, carefully let the clutch out and the knocking got faster and faster. It had NO power. Couldn't get past second gear. But, she took me home!!! Gotta luv it. I'm thinkin' I dropped a valve seat or possibly one of the cam gear bolts came loose??? I'll have it apart this weekend & all will be revealed. Whats left of it anyway. cheers, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
