1970, 914-6, 93K miles - excellent shape, very minor rust
I will post to this thread occasionally as I move through this project, I have asked for guidance and received many good thoughts from this team - thank you 914World I am in the midst of removing the engine and transmission. All original. There is oil everywhere, not flowing but seeping - seems that the valve covers are not tightened or have loosened with age. Here are the first pics: On the rack - hopefully not for long: ![]() Shift Assembly is very clean, no wear, bushings are in good shape but all of them will be replaced ![]() ![]() ![]() Heat exchangers have no holes in the pipes that I could find, the surrounding tin has been treated with anti-rust leakage - perhaps this was the plan in Stuttgart? ![]() ![]() ![]() No plans to change the exhaust system - any guidance as to cleaning or preservation? All comments and guidance appreciated - engine coming down on Friday |

Your impression of the internals is good ? put your 914 6 tailcover on it and install. repair/rebuild the original at your leisure |

Rory, I will crack the 914-6 case this weekend, pretty sure 2nd sync ring is gone or close to it…….i like your idea! Your impression of the internals is good ? put your 914 6 tailcover on it and install. repair/rebuild the original at your leisure I wouldn't do that. The gearing is different in an original six transmission. The six has a GA second gear and a Z fifth gear. The 4 has an F second gear and a ZD fifth gear. The Z fifth in the six is to keep the fan spinning faster so it doesn't overheat. I learned this the hard way. When I first had my 2.4 six in my conversion, I put an HB in for for fifth gear. I could not drive 60mph. I had to drive 50 in 4th or 75 in 5th. If I tired to run 60, the oil and heat temps skyrocketed. |
