Removing the old one-piece tube is easy...and violent.
Grab ahold of the tube in the middle with a big channel-locks or vice-grips and twist it out without regard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) KT |

Not worried about scoring the mating surface for the new O-rings I see.

Duh, O-rings were not my concern. Cocking the end of the tube so as to cause contact between it and the bore was. Not saying 100% efficacy, just a concern I would have.

The stock tubes are very soft and thin. Soup cans are thicker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
My "without regard" was semi-joking...More like, grab it in the middle and twist so both ends come straight out of the engine and then remove. Should take about 10-20 seconds per... KT |

QUOTE(Onassis91 @ Nov 15 2006, 05:38 PM) My local mechanic says I have 2 bent push rods and the cost to reapir will be $8-12 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) thousand. This seems really high to me.......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) It's not the only thing high, I think your mechanic needs rehab. Follow instructions listed above, do not deviate or substitute. If it were me I would do the work myself and save tons of $$$$. |

Why would anyone buy a 914/6 and know zip about them? At least the posts aren't written in Nigerian.

60 Miles north puts you in either Ventura or Santa Barbara. Which is it? There are a number of good porsche mechanics in both places. Tell me which area and I'll give you a list of potential mechanics I checked out for my race project.

I squash the tubes as described and the cut the squashed area with tin snips, the come out really easy that way and you only score if the wife's in the mood.
