Teeners, as the time gets closer to my engine being delivered, I’m closing in on finishing the engine bay. I’ve installed new seals in our 88 911, but the 914 seal rails don’t appear to have any openings to start at. ANY helpful tips will be appreciated. Thanks, Robbo

The big thick rear engine seal has an opening that you can slide it into and work it around easily. The sides and the front seal, I just pried open the end of the rail slightly, and started the seal into the rail. Worked it down into place, and then taped the rail back into shape with small body hammer very lightly.
