Good morning gentlemen, have a question on moving a tuna can from one 2.0l case to another. It appears that it all should just transfer over if it is a good quality assembly, right? The 2.0L turbo engine I removed has one, the 2.0L engine I installed does not.

And yes, I will make sure there is no actual tuna in the can first.

Thanks!

IMHO every 914 or any T4 owner should have an inch pound torque wrench. The oil sump plate is 9 ft/lbs which is 108 inch/lbs...not a pound more.
I also work on 996/7 engines, lots of M6 bolts in alunimum, 7.5 Ft/lbs, no inch pound torque wrench and you'll be heli-coiling a lot of holes. On 914 every engine I build I helicoil the taco plate bolt holes.

I've had to replace a few cases due to over torquing the sump plate resulting in a broken bolt boss, including one on a customers brand new performance engine.
