Just found this site. Wow. Great info. I have had my 72 914 for 30 yrs. Restored it 10 yrs ago. Still all original--fuel injected. Since then, it has been driven very little (unfortunately). In the last year, I have started getting a popping or backfire on decceleration. It is getting worse and worse. The car drives great and strong other than this annoying habbit. I heard about the exhuast leak possibility and put my had under the car while it was running. I can feel airflow under each heat-exchanger to head connection! Is this normal? I don't understand how ALL could be leaking. I used the copper rings when I connected them 10 yrs ago. Could they be going bad?? I need an expert!!

ExPeRT!? NO! YOU NEED A COMPETE IDIOT!
Never fear, I am certified. You have GOT TO FIX THAT NOW, they work themselves out, and the heat causes MAJOR HEAD DAMAGE. You MUST tighten them constantly to spec, you don't want them to use the free play to YANK the threads out of the heads.. It may have already happened, and I say that because you said they were all leaking. That detonation thing you talk about is a Porsche killer, be affraid, be warned, fix it. M |
