Hey all;
New 914 owner here. Just got a '71 1.7 with no compression in cyl #3. Popped the valve cover and there is a broken spring. Anyone tried to replace this with the engine in? Got a manual that only addresses the situation where the engine in on the bench. Thanks all, hope the BBQ is going well. Matthew. |

I have heard of people suffing a string in the spark plug hole to stop the valve from moving. Make sure you leave a little hanging out.
