I took the 914 for a drive with the wife last sunday. on the way home, it was driving smooth and powerfull, when out of nowhere a loud clanging noise cam from the engine and the car lost power and died. I have less then 1000 miles on the engine rebuild, which is what really scares me. I was going to pop off the valve covers and take a look to see if anything jumped out at me. my question is: what is the easiest way to remove the valve covers? Do i need to take off the heat exchangers? I cant get the car up my ramps to give me room, all I have is a single floor jack.
