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

I built my first 914 in the summer of '81 and then headed down the 5 from Oregon to LA. It turned out that an air breather hose that the dealer pulled out of a bin of hoses and clamps had the screw from a hose clamp stuck inside it. Coming down the Sisikyou mountains the screw broke loose and went through the intake and embedded itself in the piston. On the side of the south bound 5 I was able to loosen the head, slip it back, knock the screw out the the top of the piston and then button it up again and complete my drive.
So yes, it kinda can be done, but you need a pretty good reason. |
