Clean it, fix the leak..put it back together, put it back in, Drive it like you stole it...
then in late november pull the motor and rebuild it. Rich |

or buy a motor to rebuild as you drive it like you stole it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
then when you're ready, swap it out in a weekend... if it runs, I don't see the need to rebuild unless compression or leakdown tests show definite faults.. |

I agree.
914's tend to spend too much time in the garage once you start the process. So get out there now while you can! Enjoy! |
