Regarding oil cooler. They are not expensive. I got new one at busdepot.com (I went with genuine be part, they also sell aftermarket).

Here is my housing cleaned up and painted with Eastwood alumablast.

Thanks! I knew I had seen that somewhere on this site, exactly what I had in mind.

I just finished cleaning my engine up. Took about a month a cleaning, sand blasting, and steam. I used alumi blast on the fan shroud and hi temp enamel rattle can paint for the tins. Engine case is original finish.

Going to address clutch, pressure plate and fly wheel next.

If you look at the spring fingers in this pic they are badly worn, wear here is one of the things you look for when inspecting your pressure plate.
On the shoe of the PP you don't want to see groves or hot spots.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11542-1524366404_thumb.jpg)

The springs broke likely because they were hitting the flywheel/crank bolts, often you have to grind the tops down on the bolts for clearance, plus a bit for disc wear.
Especially important check if the flywheel is reground.
Grinding the bolts doesn't hurt the strength, you can only go so far as you still need to get a socket on them.

Almost 2 years to the day, I finally have my 914 back in working order! A few little bits to tidy up, but what started as a clutch replacement turned into a longer journey than I expected. Forgive the shameless plugs here... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Complete engine rebuild by DC Racing and Performance in Irving, TX.
Kept the fuel injection so no radical changes.
All engine tin blasted and powder coated.
New SS fuel lines from Tangerine Racing.
Cleaned and resealed fuel tank.
New fuel pump and replaced all rubber lines.
Various bits and pieces from AA and 914 Rubber.
Cleaned, inspected/re-packed CV joints.
New trans seals.
Rebuilt pedal board
Blasted and repainted too many parts to list.

Oh yeah...new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing too, since I was in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Just don’t understand why it would run hot.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)




(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

There are so many 914's out there running around with oil coolers just like this one and folks wondering why they run hot.

Great job taking advantage of the engine drop to get in there and get this stuff cleaned up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
