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) |

Hi All,
I had a little time yesterday to start tearing down the engine. The car had been sitting for 15yrs, so I really did not know what I would find. I took off the heads and unfortunately things did not look great to me, but I'm hoping the experts can chime in. I attached pictures of the heads and both appeared to have been leaking where it mates with the cylinder. I hope this can be fixed. I have no history on this engine, so I don't know how many times the heads has been cut. It's stamped TPE which was probably the last shop that worked on it. Comments welcome :-) On a more positive note, I split the case and did not see any bad surprises. I did accidentally drop the oil pump and it cracked, so I'll need to get a new one :-( Thanks in advance. -Dennis |
