Hello all,
First post on the forum after lurking for a while. I am restoring a 73 914 and discovered that the engine cross member sits at an angle towards the back as if the previous owner ran over something and pushed it to the rear. My question...does this cross member naturally have an angle or is it supposed to be straight. I am pulling the engine now and plan to drop the cross member once removed. Any help would be appreciated.  |

although we have new outboard solid mounts (the ones that are bent causing the crossmember to lean) you can remove yours, put them on an anvil and beat straight with a hammer and reinstall. Easy and will make the bar mount straight again
