How much is possible with the engine still in the car? (1975, 1.8).
I’m about ready to give up. I’ve gotta try something. She always runs hot. I think I vapor locked yesterday. Had to get pushed off the freeway then started right up once I got it home. It also started “pinging”, for the first time…..ever. (stock L-jet) I figure it couldn't hurt to check for a cooling obstruction under the tin and spray off any gunk from the oil cooler. It’s a start. I have also new engine tin seals to install. Those should help too. - Tom |

It can be done for some of it.....but best to pull the motor.
It's a 914 rite of passage.... |

Do not fear an engine drop -- It's a prerequisite for being a full-fledged non-club member.
