hi all...
So today I removed the trans and engine from my 4cyl 914. I did it for 2 reasons... 1 - i am going to convert the trans to a side shift with parts I bought from Brad Mayeur. 2 - i want to attack a couple of the oil leaks that are annoying me... The way I did this, was to remove the muffler.. then the heat exchangers.. Then undo the drive shafts and unbolts and remove the transmission... Then I put the hydraulic table under the motor, undid the bolts, and disconnected the hoses and plugs and connectors... pretty easy, just a bit time consuming. But this is the first time I have used an engine stand... is the normal convention to remove the engine tins and the clutch assembly first?? Also, I have drained the oil earlier, but when it is on the stand, and I turn it upside down, is it a bad thing for any residual oil to head to the top of the motor??

It will not hurt a thing. That's a clean looking engine.
