Re: My 1974 2.0 914.
I have had this car since about 1990. a couple of years ago I needed to rebuild the engine. I bought a rebuilt motor and the heads came loose. I took it to a local mechanic to re torque the heads. He could only get to the bottom four bolts on each cylinder as I expected. He said they torqued but one of the studs felt funny and suggested I rebuild the motor. I let him do the rebuild and he said the heads felt fine now. They came loose again. He says he didn't use head gaskets as they were not needed. I want to get this thing running right again. Why are my heads coming loose? Do I need gaskets on this motor. Some mechanics I have talked to say I need head gaskets and others say no. It would be interesting and helpful for you guys to chime in on this subject. |

I wished I would have read this before final assembly and installation of my new engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Brant, have you got any pix of the access holes you cut into the tins? ... and can one cut the access holes with the tins already installed on the engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
