(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Just getting started bringing back a 73 2.0 Should I rebuild the master brake cylinder and brakes even if they seem to work?
Also need advice on how to get tar out of gas lines and injectors? |

Safety first. Get good brakes on there. Pretty much every revived 914 that I run across has sticky calipers, and often have leaky master cylinders. If you're putting it into regular service, I would install a new 19mm master cylinder (just because it's cheaper than the stock 17mm), new rubber lines, and get rebuilt calipers from PMB.
If there is crap in the fuel system, it also should be thoroughly cleaned. Otherwise you put the engine at risk of damage. Remove the tank and at least clean it out, replace all the fuel lines, and spray cleaner and air down the lines in the center tunnel. |
