Hi All,
I finally had a chance to pull the engine from my 1975 914 Project. It was actually a lot easier then I thought it would be. There was a lot of great info in this forum that helped make it so easy. I searched the forum, but could not find an answer. I think I know the answer, but I'll ask the question, just to be sure. Did the 1.8L engines come from the factor with the engine block painted red? see the attached picture. Also, now that the engine is pulled I was able to inspect the hell hole and inner longitudinal areas. There is some minor surface rust, but overall it looks great. It does not look like it will need any rust repair! Thanks. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Great to know the red engine paint will make the car go faster!!
My plan is increase the engine to 2056. I want to keep the original FI, so I won't go very wild. The trans is unknown, so I'll plan to rebuild it. The car has been sitting for 15yrs, so I'll need to rebuild all. Overall, the body has very little rust, but it will need to be repainted. |

Keep posting about your engine build! I'm planning to do a 2056 with my 1.8 as well, so it'll be great to see your progress and results. Cheers! |
