Lets face it OIL is the life blood that pumps through the veins of your T4 motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
The 914 was designed as a sport driving vehicle as such can regularly see G-forces that conspire to starve the motor of that critical fluid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Unlike its big brothers the 911 & 914/6, the wet sump oiling system in the 914/4 only works when there is oil available to its pick-up at the bottom of the case. When hard cornering or sustained high speed sweepers are encountered oil does slosh away from that PU, and if air is instead sucked ....... bad things happen! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Here is a solution for your 914! This oil pickup & sump extension is a tried & proven product. Slightly lowering the PU and immersing it in a captured reservoir of oil, avoids potential oil starvation. Its nickname "Tuna can" is due to its size & shape Past versions were made of Steel, now made of aluminum it has the same expansion properties as the case its attached to. A HIGHLY recommended upgrade to any 914/4! Can be used with the original steel sump cover, matched with a new billet aluminum cover. or as an assembly ( incl. gaskets).
