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

Don't mean to criticize, but why would you do this repair this way? Becasue it CAN save time in the right circumstances. OK, fair enough. Good you got it fixed. For me, 40+ years of standing on my head in the engine compartment and crawling under the 914 on cold cement or worse gravel, is enough. So I try to minimize doing those things. I think the worst repair I had was putting the plastic pivot bushing behind the throw out lever, without removing the engine/transmission. Ground an Allen wrench into a special tool. Haven't done that job like that since then. In just the last 13 months, I've removed/ installed two motors by myself. I can think of worse things to invest my time doing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |
