Hi All –
I am starting to button up my 2.7 after getting everything cleaned up. I noticed on the PP site that Wayne had to remove a significant amount of the cooling/structure ridges on the lower 930 valve covers. I was surprised at how much material was removed. Is this a “every 914 is a bit different” type mod, or is it always something that needs to be done? Can I simply use a dremel? I don’t want to warp anything…. Thanks!

I did mine like the pic shows; did both too. Take your time grinding as it cuts fast. Pretty easy mod and unless you want to drop your engine every time you need to remove them, you'd better do it now.
Oh, and zero leaks since I did it. |
