I want to remove and replace my Dellortos and the instructions are to torque to [EDITED] 13 inch-lbs. Most of you know what that feels like intuitively, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw up my new toy.
I don't yet own a torque wrench -- don't think I've even used one before. I'm wondering which one I should buy for this and future 914 stuff. E.g. my valve covers are converted to bolt on. |

All true guys and i respect your enthusiasm for wanting to
Turn the wrenchs But a 914 Is not like working on a bug stock 1600 . Thats something you learn on . Not a big 4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) And with all do respect i say this I was a big fan of this car and couldn't believe it was for sale But ive faced the same facts about my own big 4 914 conversion After the switch you need to drive the car afew 1000x miles And have everything adjusted or tightened up and then the car will be good to go Clutch cable's +throttle And leaky fuel line in my case Timing /distributor, carb sync etc On yours , good and minor problems to have |
