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 |

Shuffle pins go around the case through bolt bores and have an interferance fit that locks the case halves together and keeps the case from "Shuffling"
We only do it for engimnes making more than 200HP. |
