New to this, first post.
Trying to get some opinions on an engine rebuild. I've got a 70 914 with the engine in pieces....should I try to get the parts - pistons, rings, bearings ect. or try to find a good used motor. Assuming it's a 1.7. I know, this is a pretty loaded question. |

Zach,
Internet problems...sorry. Right last guess. I used an electric wench. Tied off the wench with chains to 4x4 thru the 2 door openings of my garage. Pointed the 914 in the right direction, up the driveway. Pulled the cable out to find that I was about 6 feet short. Conned my wife into pushing up the hill with a rolling start and throwing something under the rear tire to stop it rolling back in the street...worked on the 6th try. Then was close enough to hook onto the front hook under the car. Started pulling the wench up and verrrryyyy worried when the chains became very tight, hoping that my door jambs will hold. Slowly pulled it up with my door jambs intact.....Sorry no picts, too worried at the time.
