Trying to get to 20 units for the best discount. Currently at 11 sold (4/17/14)
$158 plus shipping.
Appears to be a high quality item. I asked the vender to extend the deadline so I could spread the word to my 914 World bretheren, and he agreed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Not sure for how long though.
I have mine ordered already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
No, you can't borrow it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Remove it to install the #3 piston pin? Why? From P-car school on, I've always removed and installed that pin from the right side as you face the piston. Comes right out, goes right in, and there's NOTHING in the way. Removal requires a slide hammer, but you should have one of those anyway. I can show you how to make the adaptor, and you CAN try this at home ............................

As for the stand head itself, I would never throw my money at that el-cheapo thing. I'm in for the good one. PM on the way. Once it's in hand, my old factory engine stand head will be on the market. 911 engines like to be on a stand sturdy enough to take the weight ..........................

Yep you can...but my way of is so way faster and less hassle than the old school method, but each their own.
But then I don't use head gaskets as well.................... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
