first, now that i know i have to clean the oil strainer when i change oil, i find that i need to replace crush washers. could someone tell me, please, what size? how many? and where can i get them?
second, the PO used what looks like thin clothes dryer tubing for one side of the heater tubing. i'd like to replace both sides. They are long lengths; anyone know a good source? reasonable substitute? on the plus side, a FLAPS has a guy who "speaks 914." he had the oil strainer gaskets, as well as rocker cover gaskets, in stock! the rocker cover gaskets are for the next step in my education as a 914 owner; the valve clearance adjustment. there is a great thread in the archives, where the consensus seems to be to run the clearance a bit tighter. think i'll try that... thanks, all of you, for your everpresent support and ready supply of 914 wisdom. oh, and the humor is appreciated also!

In Portland I get the "oil change kit" (screen gaskets, crush washers and drain plug washer) at a basic import parts store that specializes in VW stuff. Standard Type IV VW kit. Costs $1.30. Look for a VW parts place in your area.
I bought some hose a few months ago on Ebay. Guy sells it for $10/foot. Good stuff. He is in Portland as well but I don't know how to find him. Search Ebay. |
