I’ve done plenty of 356 valve adjustments…. Now it’s time for the 914-6. I got a set of the feeler gauges and I’m gonna dive into it. Any pointers would be appreciated also what are the correct specs. I will be replacing the valve cover gaskets once I’m finished as well.
Thanks |

My GT tribute had sat for years when I bought it. A few winters ago, I got it running but then pulled the motor to inspect, adjust valves, etc.
We have a retired Porsche/VW tech who does house calls and teaches, inspects, tells good stories. He said back in the day, the dealer techs all dropped the 6 engines to do a valve adjust. It was just faster for them and working to book, hours they were ahead of the game. In progress.  |
