Still working on going thru my new to me 1973 914 2.0 liter and have a few ??'s
I am going to dropping the engine in order to clean up the back wall and the hell hole section .. have to cut out a small rust section and patch then paint ... Question is .. what else should I do "while I am in there" planning to do an oil change .. tranny fluid change(is swepco 201 correct for this ??) valve adjustment ... tune up and swap out the single carb for the dual webers... If there are any recommendations such as plug type, fluid commentary, etc it would be greatly appreciated ... I had planned swepco for the tranny, Valvoline Vr1 20/50 w/ zddp and a Mahle filter those are the same fluids i use in my 911 and I think are correct for the 914 .. Also when pulling engine/tranny on the 911 I use a motorcycle jack and crib it to hold thins right .. anyone use these to pull the engine/tranny ?? and if so any pics for cradle ??? |

I have no opinion on the subject but thought you would like to see this recent thread concerning synthetic gear oil and swepco in particular: Synthetic oil?
