I traded GTEENER back for the Classic Mini and got a stock(ish) 2.0 bonus car.
GTEENER is already having engine problems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Ah so good to be back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

Rumor has it there is an engine wunderkind in the Bay Area that makes house calls.
Anyone know who that is? |

Best I can tell, The oil is not circulating through the oil cooler. Question whether it's circulating at all by the 260+ oil temp from Sacramento to Vacaville. There is oil in the tank. It looks clean but above the fill dot. Car made a sputter crackle spund at one point and then never stopped puttering. Lost my power too. Kept feeling like it wasn't in the proper gear or something.

A few folks have come back this year. Keep us posted on your 914. I'm a little worried it might have been a clogged oil cooler as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) you guys...
I'm worried it's a clog in the oil system too.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Considered the possibility that the thermostat on the engine is not opening... There are no obvious plugs externally on/around the front oil cooler. How to unclog/unblock whatever it is, is THE question... I live closest to Heyer Performance. www.heyerperformance.com 2362 Old Middlefield Way Mountain View, CA 94043-2475 (650) 962-0930 Next closest is High Performance House www.highperformancehouse.com 2431 Spring Street Redwood City, CA 94063 (650) 364-6234 I know Rich Walton @ Jerry Woods Enterprises His boys did most of the original tune up work when I got the car home 2001-ish. And did some race mods. so I could track it. Leamon Stansell (HEALTOE914) was the last person to do any major work on GTEENER. He installed the front oil cooler. |

Tom Amon is Mobile Works West, right? http://www.mobileworkswest.com Anyone here had him service their 914/6's? Recommendations? Warnings? I like the idea of house-call work. No towing required. Very convenient. McMark is in Napa still, right? Too far away... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Given the volume of measured oil (yes, while the engine was running) and the cleanliness of the measured oil, I'm thinking it might be the thermostat on the engine not opening.

Gwen, 2 itsy bitsy nuts to remove the oil thermostat on the flywheel end of the engine. Hell to get at in a /6. If removed it can be suspended in a pan of water with a thermostat. Once the water gets to about 180 degrees, you should be able to see the position of the slide change.
Well, that's how I test them anyway. Edit: Also, if he installed a front cooler and a thermostat to regulate flow to it, that thermostat could have failed. It would have been interesting to touch the front cooler core when the temps soared to see if it was warm / hot. |
