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

FWIW I have the same tool issue. Bought from someone used actually marked P225; represented as a P225; but it clearly isn’t. They are out there floating around.

Please share vendor so that others don’t run into the same issue.

Super Hawk,

Perhaps I am a bit naive, however, I believe that these are honest mistakes (perhaps not in your case) as a result of their being no MODEL STAMP on the tool, the 225 and the 226 are the same with a small (frustrating) variation

I have sent a note to Sir Tools with this suggestion....we shall see......

Depending on the response on Monday I will post more..,... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
