I may be able to help. I'm new to the 914's ( one month of ownership!) but I've already pulled my engine and it's not disasemmbled and waiting for all the little parts to go back it.
I may be helping a guy put a 911 engine in his 914 next weekend. If not, I'm all yours. Advice... start soaking the CV bolts NOW. A 3 hour engine drop turned into 6+ hours of hell because of ONE STUPID BOLT!!!! |

Two guys should have the engine\trans on the ground in ONE hour.
The hardest part is scotting the disconnected CV joint\axles over the top of the motor as you pull it out. With four guys or more: light BBQ, pull motor, coals are ready, cook! Serious... KT |

Twystd1 No need to bring anything, appreciate the help. Sorry man no single chicks. MAybe you can convince Aaron to wear a wig... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) There will be plenty of beer, so Aaron and Matt can have at it. Pulling the engine to tear ir down and clean it up, just the basics... Needs, I got a list a mile long.. How about a running clean teener (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I need a front trunk pan / belly... Mine is rusted out.. dash, battery tray. yadda,yadda,yadda..... |

No I don't, I was going to get the pan and call Joe.... It might be my next investment... Anyone have a floor jack I can barrow to pull the motor? I figure it would make the process easier... I have the basics in tools, anything special other then beer, I might need to go and get before Saturday? |

Hi Brian,
I get home Friday night and if I'm not totally jet-lagged I'll try to be there. Remember to send your wife and kids away for the day and don't give these guys any food or beer till at least some work gets done on the car. Cheers, Elliot |

Hey Elliot,
How's things? I was a little worried about having the wife around.. My kids are already a bit mental, so I'm not to concerned.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If your up for coming over I will have a cold one for ya.. Any prefrence from you guy's on what you want to eat? ( I know this is like playing with fire), but thought I would ask. No lobster, crab, or porter house... I was thinking burgers, chicken, sandwiches, the wife makes some killer home made burritos, marinaded beef all day long... |

Aaron I appreciate it... No need tobring anything, unless there is something special in the way of tools that we might need. I can't imagine needing anything that I don't ave other then a floor jack, but what do I know.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Brian, sounds great!!!
We can have the motor out and on the ground in 45 mins tops. We got Aaron's out in just under 40 because his carb intakes were catching (he was only 8" off the ground) -- not counting all the other widgets we were fiddling with. (oel pump studs n stuff). I'll bring an extra 2-ton floor jack and a creeper, and my triple-square (cheese-head). Don't forget a set of metric-hex-head sockets ranging from (at least) 6mm-10mm. 4mm-10mm preferred. Go buy a can of PB Catalyst. Spray the engine bar mounts (you'll see them where the bar mounts to the body, by your heater flappers), spray the CV bolt mounts and also the little screws you will see in the engine bar. They've got a hex head on them, very small. Also buy a tube of Molybdenum grease (axle grease) and a box of large ziplock bags and a sharpie. You should be ready to rock (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Any other plans "while you're in there" ? |
