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've always had 5/16" taken off the entire top of the cover. I know you don't have to do it like that, but to me makes it look less hacked.
I didn't know about the SC lower covers, thanks Cap'n!! I like the helicoil or insert / bolt idea, anyone else do this JP, or did you come up with it? |

Nah, it's standard practice in the aircraft industry to use helicoil inserts in female aluminum threads. Aluminum threads wear out with regularly removed fasteners. They are called STI threads/inserts leaving you with a standard thread hole. I ground off the ribs like everyone else..... |
