So because I care more about driving my 914 than fixing issues with a leaking engine I decided to buy a 1.8L. I mean why not. So it runs and doesn't run perfect, but sounds pretty ok. I barely got through my last dark magic djet battle. This is an all new animal. This has most likely been asked before, but I have never come across it. IS there a listing of all the seals, hoses, frog powder dust, that I need to purchase to do a complete tune up of this old girl? When I perform a tune up it usually consists of cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil, valve adjustment, and timing. I never touch any seals or vac hoses, but it seems like this should be done. Help me please with a list of "definite replace these" items. Oh and it's a 75 1.8L.
Thanks team! |

Thanks all for the info.
Order some tune up stuff today and will start digging in. Also to clarify I didn't buy a car just the engine. I can't stand having a non driving 914. So much so that I am temporarily abandoning the 6 I have sitting until I have more time to get the major oil leak addressed. This engine will at least scoot me down the road. DD - very good point about the oil cap. Apparently in order to get this one to run that was needed and it fired up afterwards. I did a preliminary leak down. 7% on one and 16 - 18% on the other 3. For a used engine with possibly 117k that's fine with me. |
