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

I think some people just like to do things the most difficult way possible. It could probably be done, but who wants to spend hours laying on their back and fighting with every nut and bolt you need to remove to loosen and remove the exhaust system, intake manifold, cylinder tins, and then finally the head, just to say you changed a head without removing the engine from the car?

Those are choices to add more work. Not mandatory to remove a basically stock engine. Yea pic below is carbureted but it will all still come out as an assembly with FI. |

How do you remove the engine without pulling off the exhaust? Are you pulling the axles out of the car? If not how are you manipulating the shafts and CVs to get them out of the way? Zach |

Not being at all sarcastic. How do you remove the engine without pulling off the exhaust? Disconnect the CVs at the transmission and zip-tie the axles up towards the trunk floor. Or if you're lazy, just let the axles rest on top of the heat exchangers. When you lower the engine/transmission combo and slide it out the back, all you need to do is make sure the axles don't hang up on anything. The engine/transmission/exhaust/muffler will come out as one unit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
