70-914-6 Clean Up, UPDATE: Fuel Lines Installed! Options

[ctc911ctc]

1970, 914-6, 93K miles - excellent shape, very minor rust

I will post to this thread occasionally as I move through this project, I have asked for guidance and received many good thoughts from this team - thank you 914World

I am in the midst of removing the engine and transmission. All original. There is oil everywhere, not flowing but seeping - seems that the valve covers are not tightened or have loosened with age. Here are the first pics:

On the rack - hopefully not for long:



Shift Assembly is very clean, no wear, bushings are in good shape but all of them will be replaced







Heat exchangers have no holes in the pipes that I could find, the surrounding tin has been treated with anti-rust leakage - perhaps this was the plan in Stuttgart?







No plans to change the exhaust system - any guidance as to cleaning or preservation?

All comments and guidance appreciated - engine coming down on Friday

********FUEL LINES***********

Took out the Tank - yea, I filled it a week or two prior to starting this adventure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)



It had been out prior, but the lines we still original, not in bad shape but I want to assure that I have a low probability of fuel leaks - added the Stainless lines from Tangerine - Thank you Chris



My daughter - the only one home - crawled under the car ( said "ew" perhaps 10 times) and pushed on the lines. I was under the dash with the peddle board sticking into me while guiding the lines through the grommet at the front bulkhead. Seems like it went in OK.






Pretty certain that the lines wrapped around EVERYTHING, not a straight forward task - however - I will be replacing the Clutch and throttle cable.

Getting Closer!

The breather hoses are $80/meter! YOW!

Also, I took off the skid plate and found that the PO decided to save a little current - not sure what is happening here......will let you know when I do.
