Can anyone tell me what the working oil capacity of a 914-6 would be with a George Vellios cast aluminium oil tank ?
I am assuming the std capacity with the original oil tank is 8-9 US quarts (about 8.5 litres) Many thanks Andrew |

QUOTE(9146986 @ Oct 21 2007, 10:28 AM)  I've used a couple methods (shrinking hammer, dimpling, etc) but the best seemed to be cutting and welding the filler neck to a smaller diameter. ...I'm getting old (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I forgot that I did something like that ...at least the hammer part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I'm afraid your first few fills are going to be trial and error. Perry's fill method is a good one, and I and my engine live by the quote below: QUOTE(9146986 @ Oct 21 2007, 10:28 AM) The bottom line is you don't need a dead nuts exact amount to add. I've seen 911's come in two or three quarts low, with no ill effects. That's one of the pluses with a dry sump system that has so much oil, a quart low isn't going to kill you. Sorry I wasn't more of a help Hey, at least England made it to the Rugby finals (but I wish someone would've scored a try) |
