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'm not necessarily advocating this approach but I have replaced a spring without dropping the motor or any special tools. I used parts from my compression tester to pressurize the cylinder to hold the valve. I compressed the new spring in a vice and wrapped it on two sides with a couple turns of safety wire. Installed the spring, retainer and keepers then cut the wire. I know, very Grapes of Wrath, but I needed to get the car running. YMMV, etc....
