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

I used to have a dolly made out of a 1" thick section of plywood and some metal wheels. I think there were also 2x4 blocks between the wheels and the plywood to raise it high enough that you could slip jacks under it. So I would raise the car on stands, jack the dolly up under the motor/trans, drop the motor onto the dolly, lower the dolly, pull the jacks out, and roll the dolly out from under the car. I think it was also necessary to raise the car further after the engine was on the ground but before you rolled it out because the dolly would not go high enough to get under the engine when the car was high enough for the assembly to roll out. But, anyway it was an easy, quick and safe. But you do need enough room behind the car to roll the assembly out and have space to work on it back there. Which my current 914 does not have.
