    Hello Friends! Let me know what you think in the comments below! Does this engine need a complete rebuild? CT

    • @vayabroder729
      @vayabroder729 2 роки тому +2

      I believe it needs a total refresh; that bottom end has a knock that doesn’t sound healthy. Might be a good idea to not keep running it to prevent catastrophe. If you want to drive this car maybe install the motor you guys just rebuilt from the yellow 914. I still believe the best bets are finishing the Ghia and the Swamp Dragon; the series for each of them should be driving them back to Orlando once they’re finished. Would make for epic series.

      @@deathproofpony Well so says " Some Guy ". Seems like you might be the one who's triggered ! Point of fact I have never said anything intentionally rude to CT or used vulgar language towards him in any way. From the start of his channel CT has said he welcomes both positive and " negative " feedback aka constructive criticism. I can't speak for everyone but I have complemented CT's desire to learn and his desire to grow many of time's. Lots of his viewers have encouraged him to grow his channel and have offered points of view to help him. Now it seems to me you might be a little butt hurt over something, maybe your stuck in your moms basement wishing you could build and work on cars, attend car show etc... so " snowflake " can you tell the difference between a spark plug and your bu#t pl$g ?? So let's see who's triggered, you gonna go cry to UA-cam now ? I don't think CT needs you defending him... got a man crush do you ?

    Hi again CT! Spent Sunday afternoon watching you take your 914 apart! Please bag, tag and label whatever you remove! After my first comments, I had to look it up and there were 4100 of the 76s made! By comparison 2300 of the 914-6 were made. The rear valence you cut off should be saved and restored if possible .
    Contact Dr. 914 at Atlanta Auto about replacement parts or give his videos a check, he should have whatever you need or know where you could get it!
    Done right, this is a $20-30k car!

    For the most part you cant tell what's going on with a motor by looking at the dirt on the outside. From your videos you seem to just want to rebuild engines. That is a perfectly fine ethos. But the internals could be perfectly fine. You could take that motor and get it running. Do a compression check . The long block could be perfectly fine. Cool video. Cool that you found that 2.0

    That thing makes a good kit how do you keep track of all those parts for so many projects? Ya after you rebuild the engine, the suspension and the body she will be ready to go overwhelming...

    Owned 914 way back when. Not much on bottom end, but get it moving it was hard to catch. Takes lots of maintenance weren’t cheap to own. I had a buddy that had 3-4 that kinda ran, then had 3-4 that didn’t run. He had 914-6 that ran pretty good, then he bought a new Porsche that some Dr’s wife had wrecked, tore hole in cloth convertible top. Wrecked, called dealer, traded cars with hers sitting in her driveway wrecked. Dealer brought her a new car, called my buddy offered him a deal on wrecked one. He could fix almost anything.

    Find and get for free or pay a little if you have to restore just one more car, a white 1964 V8 engine, stock Chevrolet Impala 2 or 4 door automatic transmission with a 2 tone interior blue & white. My favorite car of all time. Just one more haha 😍😉 Thanks for sharing. Don't work to hard.

    Every time I watch videos like this where old cars like this are so neglected to this point I wonder what kind of person would do that. If you can’t handle taking care of it, let it go to someone who can take care of it and they can get some value from it.

    The rear wheel bearings are held together and supported by the stub axle. There will always be some play with the axle removed; to check the play properly the axle must be in place and torqued to spec.
    Do you have a Haynes manual for the 914? It's about as good as you'll find in print currently. It literally has about 85% of the content from the factory manuals (word for word and photo for photo!) directly copied. Well worth the small $ cost.
    If you search carefully, you may be able to find PDF files of the original factory manuals on-line as well. But the Haynes is a whole lot more handy, I find.

    Strip/renove all parts and send the body to 914 specialist for proper restoration. I'd also opt for 914-6 reinforcement members.

    CT please heed these warnings;
    take really good detailed pictures of the air box and duct routing, as well as the valves, and duct valve/door actuator cables. You will need to remove all that to put new seals on the openings. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL with the corrugated plastic pipes connecting the air box, they are effectively unobtainium, or just plain stupid expensive. Yours will be very fragile. I suggest spraying them with a really good silicone spay and let them absorb it as much as possible, before attempting to remove them. The box and fan assembly is over $500.
    It will be a hell of a challenge rebuilding this one. Since it’s well documented now, that it’s a basket case, so you should feel free to resto-mod it, tastefully. 914’s where one of the first EV conversions. Once you get the frame, body, and paint done, you might consider pissing all the purists off, and do a Tesla drivetrain conversion, or stoke yourself out by adding some bracing and converting it to a flat 6, 3.0L. I’m the mean time disassemble carefully, even the special nuts & bolts, can make the project go broke.
    I and many more will be watching.
