As many of you are aware, for several years I've been converting my 1974 to a 3.2 914/6. For nearly two years it's been on jackstands. Well I'm getting close to completion, and I need to source up to date heat exchangers.
I have a set of used OEM exchangers, but the flange thickness is different, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (thinner) and they won't work without spacers, or reseating all the head studs. So I need to find someone who can supply me a set that will work with a 3.2. Any guidance will be appreciated. |

People have been using the spacer trick on sixes for a long time. If its wobbling it sounds too loose. Why is it wobbeling? Try it first to see if it leaks. Then go the potiontally hazardous way of removing studs. All it has to do is hold it up...

If the stud brakes, and you cant get them out with vise grips and you try welding a nut and that brakes the next step gets more serious and way more envolved then adding spacers. |
