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!

Its for cooling...
one function of this is to direct the fan air over the heads... (there is even a thermostat in there to open/close how much of this air gets directed.) another function is to separate the top (cool air)... from the (bottom hot exhaust air)... and that is why the factory put plugs/grommets/seals in all of the little holes... leave it unless you only race. brant |
