Hello
Can heads be removed from a 914 engine without removing the engine from the car? Thank you. |

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say no. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
At least not without a sawzall. Just pull the motor and transmission together, then you can get to the cylinder heads. Best wishes for a successful fix! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) not a big deal to remove if fact IMO one of the easier bigger jobs on a 914 ,just make sure you pre-soak various nuts and bolts with penetrant spray ,exhaust head nuts require the most and the application of some heat helps so you don't strip them or snap the studs. Carefully mark wiring you remove and take photo's before you remove other stuff,get some snaplock bags and mark them in relation to where the fastenings came from. Good luck and take your time ,cheers. |
