I recently purchased a 914 with a seized 2.0 . I tried the penetrating oils with no luck. Pulled the engine and heads. Got it un-seized and back running in the car. One problem after another. I should have done a rebuild from the beginning. Running good now with a new engine.

I recently purchased a 914 with a seized 2.0 . I tried the penetrating oils with no luck. Pulled the engine and heads. Got it un-seized and back running in the car. One problem after another. I should have done a rebuild from the beginning. Running good now with a new engine. Funny how that works. Lesson #7932 from school of hard knocks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Glad you learned the lesson and thank you for sharing the experience with others. Some of us learned this working on seized lawnmowers and go-karts when we were 13. Others still learning on 914's I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Some just have to learn for themselves. (I'm guilty sometimes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) Someone is going to get some good practice on this one. Just needs a shot or two of WD-40 and it'll be fine.
