But feeling optimistic, I tried to install the bushing rotated 180°. That worked for exactly 1 door closing and opening before the bushing spun around to the worn position.

Thank god , it's not just me that this happens to.

Yup, the foolish optimist club. That might include all 914 owners.

Some (or lots) of grease on the mechanism and linkage seems to get the lock working.


I have found removing the latch/locking mechanism works well to clean the 1/2 century of crud and then lube. Adding lube seems to compound the issue


I had the inner mechanisms out, solvent-soaked, and then replated during my build. I gave them a light dose of grease before installing. Now I have progressed to the max grease stage.

With a very thin paper gasket?


Good question. I would like to hear from others. I did not use a gasket originally.


The Schadek pump I installed on my last build had a very thin paper gasket.


Thanks. Any other viewpoints out there?

Returning to the oil pump "leak", I have a new Schadek on the shelf waiting for the time to get the next build going. Today I measured the thickness of the paper cover gasket - in the .003 range. Hope this helps

I am having the same issue with small oil leaks, watching this thread, thanks in advance Bob

Back to 914 work today. I have been distracted all week by snow, with shoveling adventures on Sunday, Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have about 2500 sq ft of driveway, and feel stubborn enough to usually do it by hand. But this week I got the machine out.

Back to working on the door locks. I removed the right door interior hardware and door card.

With the plastic sheet removed (and destroyed) I greased the lock mechanism. Really greased it.

Just like the left side, the key in the exterior handle now locks the door (and the interior lock tab closes flush).

To see if the door card interferes with the locking rod, I temporarily reinstalled it.

Still works!

And as others suggested, I checked for interference from the screw that holds the plastic surround for the interior lever. With the screw in place, the lock still works fine.

Pretty easy to strip the stays apart, and remove the old arms, springs, and rollers.
