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

Having dropped a few beetle motors onto tires, then wrestling them out from under a car two friends lifted up….all so I could go to work on Monday after replacing heads…..I get it.
But it does make me wonder. In theory, could one rest the engine and trans on some wooden blocks (free) then remove everything required to drop the engine, but instead….lift the car up and roll it ( walk it) forward over the engine???? Hmm Or ( now I must try this) Use lift to pick car straight up 2++ feet off motor. Rich |
