Curious - I actually emailed LN (because I thought the description was unclear) and "Stephen" specifically said that "According to the Porsche PET, your 914 should use the 12 x 1.5 plug"

So, first, let’s agree that ‘fit’ means I should be able to get the plug in using my fingers more than just the first couple of threads. I am sure I could have put a wrench on it and forced it in further, but… So there is a tale out there in the carriage barn that we are about to uncover. Tomorrow I will check the number on the block and see where it begins. |

Well, let me nip this in the bud before it takes up any more bandwidth.
Went back under the car and tried putting in the plug that was there. It has exactly the same feeling haha! So I was just wimpin’ out, frightened because I was screwing into the block. Used a wrench to drive it in (no great effort required), torqued up to 16 ft/lbs easily, new copper washer in place.  Getting oil to put in today. There are so many things I would still like to do under the car but I have PCA obligations coming up and do not want to start something that I might not be able to finish. Clearly moved the car in the positive direction this off-season! Putting the wheels back on. Is it really the case that these lightweight bolts need to be torqued to 94 ft/lbs?   |
