QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Jan 6 2026, 03:53 PM)  Can the tubes and pushrods be replaced with motor in the car ? According to the google machine, Yes, you can replace pushrods and tubes on a Porsche 914 with the engine in the car, though it's tedious work requiring removal of valve covers, rockers, and heart exchangers (recommended), often needing some tubes to tilt or partially remove due to chassis clearance, and demanding careful reassembly with proper torque and seals to prevent major oil leaks. It's challenging but doable by working on one cylinder at a time, often with the engine raised or on tall jack stands. I give you this: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/lofiversion/i...php?t29951.html This feels like a question we could ask that new fancy 914world AI Agent. |
