Need some help with regard to vacuum leaks. We have very poor vaccum on our 914-2.0 (carb conversion). This results in poor idle and very lean running. The local (expert) 914 mechanics state that the intake manifolds are prone to leaking at the head.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Is this common? And what were your fixes? Any other areas that could be leaking by? Anyone know the torque values for the locking nuts on the intake manifold to head nuts? (Thanks to xsboost90 for his previous help....picture was worth a thousand words!) BTW... take a look at the attached file...3000 dollars..worth it or not? (1975-2.0, converted to carb, roll bar, chassis braced, 911 suspension upgrades, adjustable shocks....) Attached thumbnail(s)
