Today, I stripped the outside of the engine. Everything came off easily, except one cheesehead screw. Given that this screws into the top of the case, I took some care. That turned into about 30 minutes of penetrating oil, finesse with a beefy screwdriver, heating with a torch, and finally lots of "gentle" taps with a hand impact tool. Eventually, it gave up.

With the sheet metal off, I could see the tops of the cylinders. I was a little disappointed not to find an official 914 mouse nest, but a fair amount of crud made up for it.

Next, we get to look inside, and see what is hiding there.

I opened up the engine today. Good thing I still have an official 914 pry tool, from previous ownerships.

Everything came off easily: push rod tubes, heads, cylinders.

I need to clean off the carbon and crud, but the heads look OK so far. Left side.

The cylinders even show cross hatching and no signs of wear.

Next up: removing the pistons and miscellaneous, and then splitting the case.
