So, the 911 motor died in montana, the six conversion was considering jettisoning the tranny, and on the lift is the four cylinder 914. For a brief time i figured the fracking had paid off, but now I have to admit major problems with oil leaks.
Most of the trouble is probably from the oil pump gaskets, Melling. Along with oil filter console leaks. I also want to replace the case bolt sealing nuts with new ones. I cannot find them though. All that i can find are 12 mm nuts for type 1-3 engines. Have they really stopped making the sealing nuts? They look like nyloc nuts with rubber in place of nylon. Thanks folks. Warren |

I have bags of the 12m nylock nuts. Did you check with Porsche or VW dealer. Picture is of 12 x 1.75 mm
