Hello All From Kentucky!
I just purchased 1974 914 in Ohio. Overall it looks to be in good condition. I tried to start the old girl and all I get is a loud "CLICK" from the starter. I pulled the plugs and filled the cylinders with Marvin's Mystery Oil. Still just a click. My Question: Is there an easy way to hand-crank the engine so I can check that it NOT seized? Can I just put it in gear and push it to spin the engine? Any and all advice is welcome. Fingers crossed the engine is NOT sized. |

Nice car. Personally, I would just pull the engine apart and do a light rebuild to stock or 2056. I would also source a factory FI and reinstall that at the same time. I am afraid if you keep trying to break it loose you might end up breaking something that could cost some dollars to replace/fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
