I have only posted a few times on the World so forgive me if I screw this up.
For the last four years I have been attempting to restore a 1971 914-6 to as original condition as I can. The question I have today is regarding the engine serial number. According to the COA it should be 6414134. As shown in the pictures below it appears not have a serial number. What are your thoughts on this? The original engine blew up needing a new case? I did notice that two of the connecting rods looked slightly different (all weighed the same). Could it have thrown a rod and been rebuilt with a new case using all the other original parts? Thank you for your thoughts. Also, anyone know where the engine numbered 6414134 is? A long shot but I thought I would ask. |

To the right of your crank pulley there is a vertical surface that supports the fan
housing. Looking from the right you may see stamped in numbers. Just behind there, on the horizontal surface you might find a type number such as 901/-- or 911/-- IF you find numbers there it is a 911 engine. If there are no numbers there or on the horizontal surface near the thermostat / flyheel you have a replacement block. Shown are correct 914 6 engine identification numbers Attached thumbnail(s) |
