Hey Ken,
Yea...I've been on the shelf for a while. I'm sure I don't need to explain to many of you guys how family craziness can get in the way of OUR favorite Porsche projects.
I've got a few things done, and am beginning re-assembly. I changed the front and back crank seals, clean the oil cooler and replaced the seals, changed the seal on the oil filter connector piece, and am ready to put the engine back in. I also have the clutch off and need to check to see if it needs replacing. I'll need to research what the clutch should look like if it is OK. Any guidance?
What has me slightly held up is that I'm fixing the broken clutch cable bracket on the firewall that my dad's mechanic had attached with a U-bolt. When the cable tube broke, it also put a small crack into the firewall. I removed the u-bolt and have it all in place and just need to get the small weld done to hold it in place and fix the crack. Since I'm not a welder this has had me kind of in limbo because I really don't want to turn just anyone loose on it and I don't want to learn to weld on my 914.
I know it's kind of a small problem, but I just haven't searched out someone to do it. Once that weld is done, I can put in my new stainless fuel lines, run all the new throttle, and clutch cables, and seal her back up. Really shouldn't take more than a couple days/weeks once I get the weld done.
