Did my 1st 914 engine "drop". Not hard at all, except for the stubborn bolts. Gonna do a rebuild on it with new gaskets and stuff like that. Dunno if I should split the case and do the rod bearings. Should I? I know everyone is gonna say "yes" to this question. I am having trouble unscrewing all the engine sheetmetal screws. I've been using vice grips on most of them, but some are hard to reach. any suggestions on removing them? Anything else to watch out for before I tear the thing down? Thanks!

Cool.. you made it over.
Take the biggest flat blade screw driver you have and place it in the screw... tap the end of the screwdriver with a hammer. This will help loosen the threads. I also use screwdrivers that have a place near the handle for a wrench. This allows me to really crank on the screw. Between those 2... all mine come out. B |
