Hey all!!!
I appreciate everyone's input on these forums.... I wish the Internet was around the last time I owned a 914. Anyways, after I get some road testing done on my recent purchase I am going to pull the engine in order to begin the 'hell hole' rust work. The question is, how high should I get the car in the air to slide the motor out the ass end??? I would assume that having the car dropped somewhat towards the front would be helpful in providing more clearance at the back. Again, appreciate all the help!!! |

I just found this neat little lift which makes life under my 914 a bit easier.
Total lift height is about 15". /Lars S (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.lsmteknik.se-10787-1401858598.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.lsmteknik.se-10787-1401858600.2.jpg) |

Is that a hydraulic hand pump that raises both units? |

Nice! Is that a hydraulic hand pump that raises both units? Yes its a foot operated hydraulic pump, easily raises both sides simultainiosly and locks mecanically when fully up. Under $300 in my country. Should have bought this when I started the 914 Project some 1000 working hours ago... /Lars S |
