Engine not turning, No rain tray, webers Options

[jeffdon]

My car sat in the rain overnight a month ago and I am pretty sure SOME water got into the carbs. At the time it barely turned over and would not start.

Now it will not turn over at all. Pulled the plugs, jacked up one wheel, and tried to get it to move by turning the wheel. No luck. Could the water that got in have frozen it due to rust? Did I possibly create a hydro lock situation and break something? How can I break it loose?

you have the engine torn down that far and your going to reuse pushrod tube seals, crank seal and rear seal. renz gasket kit is about $.40.00, front and rearseal about $30.00. i would
seriously rethink that plan, fwiw. you know the old saying, "never the time or money to do it right, always the time to do it twice. jest sayin'

The upside of not replacing the old seals is the rear end of your 914 will never rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
