Hello -
So I've started my first engine rebuild and I have a question: I have a 73 2.0 litre 914. On the crankshaft bearings, are there supposed to be small dowel pins holding the bearings in place? The Haynes manual shows a diagram with the dowels but they aren't mentioned in the reassembly directions. The dowels ( 4 total ) should be about 5 mm diameter by 8 mm long. Do I need them? What's the correct size? And where can I get some!? Thanks for your help! Cheers Nate Fort Collins CO 73 914 2.0 73 VW T3 Squareback |

They keep the bearings from spinning. Not sure where to get them. You might try Jake Raby.
