Hi everyone!

I recently acquired a 914 that has been stripped down as if it was being prepped to restore. It definitely needs a lot of work but it does run which is great and I can only see 22,000 miles on the odometer.

I'll be frequenting this forum hoping for some advise from those who know a lot more bout this car than I.

My first question is that it is missing a cap on the engine. It's not the oil cap (see pic) and I have no clue how to describe this in a search on eBay to get the right cap. Everything I search results in the oil cap.

Can anyone let me know what this is and where to get one?

TIA!

It's the timing hole cover on a Type 4 engine.

Bdstone on this site has one. It is a timing hole cover.

Wow! Thanks for the fast reply! That's awesome!

Welcome. Where in Alberta are you? There are several of us in Calgary, 3 of us in the same area. Lets see some photos!!!

Thank's for the lead. I have sent him an email

I live in Airdrie. The car is pretty rough but I think it can be fixed. Of course I am here for expert opinions

3 of us are in the north end of Calgary. Good luck with your project!!

Thanks Mike. We're pretty happy that is runs Needs a front bumper and passenger side fender. Has rust and all that but I've seen a lot worse on YouTube!

Another pic.

For sure! Your's looks amazing! Do you have any parts lol

We are parts hoarders. I don't personally have any body parts but I can check with the guys about a bumper and fender.

Yea I'd be a part hoarder too I guess

I'm in the S.W. of Calgary .. I'm New to the 914 World too.. going from 911's to 914's is a learning curve BUT just as fun .. I just bought my Project 73 914 Chalon 2.0 and have just started on the garthering of the parts needed ..

This is actually my first ever Porsche so will be a huge learning experience! Do you have a pic of yours?
