Hello
Can heads be removed from a 914 engine without removing the engine from the car? Thank you. |

Don't mean to criticize, but why would you do this repair this way?
Yes, there's so many repairs we've done because we have to get to work the next day, fortunately that's not an issue for most of us with 914s as most are not used as our only or even primary transportation. If the engine bar is unbolted and the transmission bolts are already loosened (and the fuel injection is removed), how much more does it really take to remove the engine? (Remove the accelerator cable, clutch cable, speedo cable, unplug wiring, and the cv bolts - which should take maybe 15 minutes? Unless you don't have the triple square tool for the cv bolts) Seems like a tremendously more difficult and time consuming way to swap a cylinder head. Don't do it. |
