I know we have threads about PO stupidity, but how about the dumbest 914 thing you have done?
I will start with a, ahem, senior moment I had today. When I tried to add oil after my recent engine re-installation, it would not go in. Short version: I forgot to remove the paper towels I had folded up and tucked into the breather recess while the engine was out of the car, to keep anything from falling into the case. I still can't believe that I installed the breather and did not see and remove paper towels. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Had the car on the lift, headers off, and adjusted the valves. Put the headers on, then the muffler, but the two-holed rear valance wouldn't fit. I was stymied.
Then, finally, I figured out that I put the muffler on upside down. |
