Although this is my first post to this forum , I have learned all I know about my 914 from here - many happy hours , when I should be working!!
After 4 months of work on my car (a 1972 model) , including a full respray , full engine rebuild from the crank up (not done by me!) and a sideshift conversion, I am at the stage of re-fitting the engine and gearbox. My question concerns the 2 rubber engine mounts which attatch the engine case to the motor mount bar. I know I have the correct bar and brackets, and the rubber mounts (hockey pucks) are in good condition, but the mounting faces of these rubber mounts are not paralell to each other - i.e. when the bar is bolted up to the engine , the bar would not be perpendicular to the engine - it would be tilted either backwards or forwards depending which way round I bolt them on. Is this normal - if so should the bar tilt forwards or backwards? , or have these mounts (not new) ,somehow got worn -and should I just buy 2 new ones? Hope someone understands what I mean - and any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

If the bar tilts forward or backward, it is more likely that the outer solid mounts or bolts are bent from the bar striking something in the roadway (parking lots or whatever). If your car is low enough, it will drag on the engine mount bar when going over speed bumps.
This assumes your description is correct and you have a sideshift transmission. The early cars had a solid mount at the engine and rubber mounts at the ends of the bar. A hearty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) welcome |
