Porsche 914 / 6 – Resurrection
This old girl has not been run for years. Adam put the engine in a few months back, but has not had a chance to deal with the ignition until this week. We’re expecting some problems.

Adam (pictured above) rebuilt this engine 500 miles ago, and now it’s back for a valve adjustment.
Just in for scheduled maintenance, there’s nothing wrong with this car, in any way, shape or form. New Pirellis will be installed before she leaves our shop.
I love this Anthracite Brown. Not to be a hater, but Porsche’s Cognac Brown is a bit much, like blackstrap molasses when you could have used Vermont maple syrup.
Porsche billed this car as a two-seater, but it’s more of a 1+1. The passenger seat is barely a real seat.
Production of this flat-6 version was limited to somewhere between 2800 to 3500; there are differing versions according to available Porsche numbers and unofficial sources. Either way, there aren’t many of them now, anywhere.
It takes about three hours to replace the engine air filter element for a Panamera. The front bumper has to be removed – seriously.
This Panamera with a 3.6 Liter V6 engine has an oil pressure warning. The first step in wading into these waters is looking at the quantity and quality of engine oil, and to cut open the oil filter to see what may be found.
