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 |

I'm really not trying to ride your butt orbit. My intentions are to save you some trouble and work. I would never power wash an engine in a 914. It's asking for oil leaks. If any of your seals and gaskets are questionable the power of the water will loosen them or even blow out a paper gasket. The electronics don't like it either. Do yourself a favor and post a question about what you want to do before doing it. The collective brain trust here is amazing.
The intermediate plate at the oil filter is what I was referring to. You will not cure it by tightening the one bolt. The gasket must be replaced. Coat both sides of gasket and both metal surfaces with gaskacinch or equivalent Good luck with your project. |
