Any damage that will happen has already happened. So they said to wait and do the whole thing at once.
Thats just bad advice...IMHO. As pricey the top end is, the bottom is mind boggling. Doing a "TopEnd" rebiuld was common practice back then. And just to be clear, something goes seriously wrong up top, it will take out your bottom end. In my neck of the woods, finding a replacement rod is pretty $$$
You just need to find someone qualified, and if that means driveing to another state, maybe even for lower labour rates, so be it. Have them check the chains. I do agree that selling the 914 for cash is the best way to go.
Or you could sell the 911 and put the money in the 914
Good luck, keep us informed.
