We are going to pull the 2.0 (93,000 miles) motor out of our 1975 - 914 due to many, many, many oil leaks. It still runs very well and strong and I would like to re-build it but just do not have the budget right now.
However, while it is down, I want to check the condition of the galley plugs. Where can I find out how many there are, where they are, and how to tell if they will last another 50,000 miles or so. I read a tech article somewhere about pulling them out, tapping the holes and screwing in the pipe plugs, all, while not disassembling the engine. Do you think this process works...Internal metal shavings are hard to capture from the outside. Any Suggestions???? Thanks |
