I like to ideas on what the heck is going on.
Doing a 1974 914 restoration. Stripped completely down to just the chassis, painted etc..... Ran great prior to start but had an oil lead that dripped down from the oil pump pressure relief valve screw. Assume it was the oil radiator. While engine was out, I replaced seals that mate the oil radiator to motor, making sure new seals were siliconed in place so they could not move during re-installation. Welded a nut to the oil pressure relief valve screw so I could really tighten it good (with new seal). Thought I fixed the oil leak. Installed engine, hooked up, started up. Still leaks oil staight down to Oil Pressure Relief Valve. Assume it can only be the stupid oil radiator again. What else could it be? Leaks good when engine running. Any ideas? thanks |

Any chance there were spacer washers between the case and cooler? There shouldn't be but I've seen it done a few times. btw since no one mentioned it, thick grease is the preferred way to hold the seals in place for assembly
