1970, 914-6, 93K miles - excellent shape, very minor rust
I will post to this thread occasionally as I move through this project, I have asked for guidance and received many good thoughts from this team - thank you 914World I am in the midst of removing the engine and transmission. All original. There is oil everywhere, not flowing but seeping - seems that the valve covers are not tightened or have loosened with age. Here are the first pics: On the rack - hopefully not for long:  Shift Assembly is very clean, no wear, bushings are in good shape but all of them will be replaced    Heat exchangers have no holes in the pipes that I could find, the surrounding tin has been treated with anti-rust leakage - perhaps this was the plan in Stuttgart?    No plans to change the exhaust system - any guidance as to cleaning or preservation? All comments and guidance appreciated - engine coming down on Friday |

Thanks for sharing. You might consider a jack adapter for safely removing the engine. There are a variety of home made ways to do it. I am going to buy this when it comes time to install our freshly rebuilt engine. |

It arrives on Friday from Pelican, that is why the drop is on Friday!

All comments and guidance appreciated - engine coming down on Friday I have refurbished many original heat exchangers. I like to treat with Ospho then clean very well and paint with high heat gray primer. Works well |

If you are interested in doing more than Ben suggested, consider ceramic coating. But, I thinks Ben's suggestion is sound advise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I found a very good powder coat shop here in the Boston area - they did all of my 2.0L engine tin as well as various other components.
I was going to have them do the engine tin as well as have them look at the heat exchangers, factory gray is a good idea - any more advice? Ceramic Gray?
