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*********

Heater Manifolds and all tin are being powder Coated

Tin = off gloss black, as close to factor color and shine as possible
Header Assembly = Gray Ceramic, a bit brighter than typical primer

Very Good Vendor in the Boston Area - Pike Powder Coat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Also found a very good capable machine shop - I am taking a mil off of the face of the P225 so that it will fit the Dog Tooth
