I just pulled the engine from a donor car for my 71. While I have the engine out of the car, what maintenance/inspections should I do? I'm not looking to do a complete rebuild, but would like to cover the basics before it goes in - wires, hoses, etc...
Thanks in advance. |

Down load the 914 Factory Manual. Its online somewhere...its moves around.
Here: http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/Porsch...nuals/index.htm Looks like you need a case of brake cleaner to start with. Remove the fuel injection, label the connections!! and pull off the tin to clean everything! Especially around the cylinders as crap builds up around the them stopping cooling. Replace the pushrod tube seals, oil cooler seals, front and rear main seals etc..... |
