70-914-6 Clean Up, UPDATE - Paint and Prep - Black and milky white-ish Options

[ctc911ctc]

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

******UPDATE******

DOG TEETH Removal Stalled another week - perhaps 2. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Transmission Inspection this week - all looked OK, need 2 Sync Bands, 2 DogTeeth and a slider.

I found this - looking for the tooth in the case - it was not in the magnetic drain plug, not even in tiny pieces.





My home brew Dog Teeth removal tool (Muffler Clamps) did not work so I bought a P225 from a very reputable vendor - actually the only vendor that had one in stock - I believe I received a P226, it does not fit and is designed for a heftier gear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

The gear sits too high, the notch does not mate to the ring in the tool



Bad close up of the same picture - the two do not mate.



I will move to getting the engine on the stand - doing the 2x4 shuffle to get it out of the engine bay and low enough to clear the rear of the car. Removing Carbs for servicing and CLEANING the engine bay......
