Family,

The size and shape of the 914 motor is a little wonky.

Has anyone had success with an engine hoist or stand that allows for good access and cleaning once the powerplant is removed?

OR-

Do people leave it resting on the ground/platform?

Any info would be great and happy holidays?

Thanks...it's my first re build. Jake has me a little concerned but so far it's running pretty good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I kept it basically "stock" 94 euro pistons/ cylinders and a Webcam/lifter set and added a type 1 oil pump. Not sure I picked the best pistons [AA] but I had a very tight budget. I had the heads and crank done by a pro along with an align bore and new oil galley plugs [tapped in that is].

Hope it breaks in good. If not I just may do it again. It was a fun job.
