914-6 Oil tank and network options, Solving out a wrong oil setup Options

[ManuFromParis]

Hello guys,
I've just imported this 914 from the US in France.
See pictures below.

It came with a 1971 911 2.2T on Webers, but the car never really worked or rolled when I got it : many issues everywhere.

The wire loom would have to be remade, likely from the ground up, but that could wait a little, since it's working as is.

I sorted out some wire issues with headlights, gas leaks on webers and then looked at the oil network, which did not look that correct.

First, there is the tank which is a modified 911 that went in left fender likely with a hammer or foot kicks, bending the fender and making it almost impossible to remove. I eventually did, but that was a pain. The fender suffered again and has now to be rectified.

I have several questions :

1. The oil cooler still is from the 911, so with an in-line intake connector, which implies a 90° adapter hose that stays very close to the left rear trailing arm. Frightening, but looks ok.

This cooler is pretty expensive, does the OEM 911 oil cooler could be modified to get the inlet with 90 degrees, as the 914-6 cooler is ?


2. There was no way to drain the oil except from the strainer plate's draining screw or unfitting a hose. As the PMS or OEM 914-6 oil tank doesn't have a drain screw either, how are you supposed to drain oil with this setup ? Add a T connector to the input cooler hose ?


3. The in and out hoses, and breather hoses were apparently correctly fitted, even though they went all strange ways. It was custom hoses and I wonder if I could use the standard return 2.7 oil pipe : 93010774111, then add a small hose to connect to the tank.

4. is it normal that all oil from tank fall down in engine cases when car is parked ? Does it fall down likewise on 911 ?


Would love to see picture of your setups or links to built reports.


Thank you for your feedback !!
