So I just picked up a used engine in hopes of temporarily getting my 914 back on the road since it had been sitting for 2 years and it turns out that "temporarily" is exactly what I got. I have a heavy oil leak coming from the front crankshaft seal and it's causing me to lose about a 1/2 quart in about a 50-60 mile trip.
All I really want to know is: is it possible to replace this seal without splitting the case or is it going to require splitting the case?? Any help would be great! Thanks! -Chris |
