So what started as a request for a mechanic recommendation
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2248578
Has turned into a community event invitation.
I have a 1971 with a rod knock 1.7 and a tired tail shifter that I have a 1911 and a side shifter that need to be swapped.
I have found that I lack the time to get there and get it done, but with the encouragement and support of local community members it has turned into a party.
I will be inviting any and all of you to join me at my garage to enjoy camaraderie, bbq, drinks and a 914. What else could you ask for?
Well if you contribute to the work, I even have small (very small) thank you gifts/prizes. I know it is not much, but I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate the support.
Please reply to this thread if you think you can come. I will pm you with address times etc. You don't have to be a mechanic or even mechanically inclined. There will be chairs and snacks for everybody, even if you are only coming for moral support and to watch the mayhem.
When we are done there will be pictures and stories to share, and if all goes well, my car will be a runner once again.
Spread the word and please RSVP. There is over a month to plan and I want to make sure that I have plenty of everything for everyone.
Party at my garage! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I hope to see you there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That is quite a drive! Maybe I should have a prize for furthest driven distance!
If you want to come I will send you the details. I will let everyone decide what defines "local" for them. My car was purchased from Tulsa anyway, so it is only right that you come to represent its long time home.

I added a list of RSVPs and will be updating it as time rolls on. I hope to have a big crowd. We will have cover from the weather so the event should be rain or shine. I hope that we don't have bitter cold, but a bit of cooler weather might make beer and brats taste that much better!

Those are excellent questions.
I have jacks, jackstands, scissor lift (I could not get a post lift b/c the roof is too low), mover's dollies, compressor, air impacts, cordless impacts, etc
The only tools I may need are things that are specific to this operation that I may not have ever heard of. (Like the oil cooler wrenches I had to make for my 911 back in the day)

Who are we missing? Or is that fairly representative of the local 914 contingent?

Are they allen head? What size? I should have it covered, unless they are really odd.

I believe they're 'triple squares'. Can't remember the size, but I *think* they're 12mm. I've got some sockets (used in my 944 when I replaced the clutch. I'll check to see if my set fits the 914. I think the set came from Autozone and came with three sockets.

Are they not star drive? I may need a tool if they are not.

lets see.....45min to pull the old motor, 45minutes to install new motor, 45minutes to tune new motor.

Sounds like one heck of a party for the rest of the day!

I found the kit above to be helpful for removing the cv joints. I also purchased this: 12 pt star bit vw cv joints but found it harder to use than the longer star bit in the kit above.

I tapped in the longer 12 point bit with a hammer before starting to try to turn it as im told stripping them is a royal pain.
