Been looking at the gaskets that came with the gasket kit I bought. The gaskets for the cyl. and heads total 7,, 3 alum. gaskets thin, 4 smaller but thicker alum. gaskets. Shouldn't the total for these gaskets be 8, I think I'm missing one of the thinner gaskets for the cylinders am I correct?

QUOTE(sean_v8_914 @ Feb 1 2007, 09:49 AM)  type II and Vanagon used teh type 4 engine after the 914 went away. Clay, I dont know your background. are you an engine builder also? Professional mechanic for many years. Lots of VW and Porsche experience. I traded in my wrenches for a laptop and now I manage servers. The vanagon and Type II are from different years and have different engine code numbers. Manufactures make changes to the production items many times over the production life. Basing a major change on a document that is not specifically written for the year, make, model, and engine code is a risky prospect. The manufacturer may have changed the later models to work without the head gaskets, but the Type-IV in the 914 was designed to use the head gasket, and there is NO tech bulletin that specifically states to eliminate the head gasket on a 914 motor. |
