Porsche 914 – February 2012 – #47

The engine is now broken down to the long block stage. One of the first upgrades I wanted to do was increase my oil pressure and efficiency. When a VW/Porsche engine is referred to as “Air-Cooled”  it is really air and oil cooled. Oil makes up a huge part of the engine’s cooling and life span.  Upgrading the oil pump to a heavy duty pump and replacing the engines oil relief valves accomplish this and help make the engine run much cooler and with better lubrication on all the engine parts.
