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. |

Eventual goal is a Suby... Not sure why it broke, I bought it this way. We were able to start it and drive it on to the trailer. No sounds of colliding metal, so the plan has been to repair what I find and then see what happens. Brian, I like your idea... It might be a moot point though. Upon further inspection, the pushrod end is chewed up, and the frame prevents me from pulling it out. I'd cut it, but still wouldn't be able to get the new one in. I was hoping to get the engine running without having to pull it, but this looks inevitable now... Thanks for all the responses. |

Pull the pushrod tube at the same time. That way you can aim the pushrod at the angle necessary to get past the chassis. |
