914Rubber Heater Blower Plate Gasket Kit for Porsche 914 (1970-76)
Restore your Porsche 914’s heating system with the 914Rubber Heater Blower Plate Gasket Kit (part numbers 021.256.325.A and 021.256.326.A), tailored for all 914 models (1970-76). This kit includes precision-cut, high-temperature silicone gaskets, stainless steel screws, and washers to seal the heater blower plate to the engine compartment’s bulkhead. A proper seal prevents hot air leaks, ensuring efficient cabin heating and reducing strain on the blower motor, which operates at 12V and up to 10 amps in the 914’s compact mid-engine layout.
With over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, PMB Performance has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, offering the largest selection of 914Rubber SKUs of any retailer. These gaskets are engineered to withstand the 914’s engine bay heat—often exceeding 200°F near the heat exchangers—while resisting oil and fuel vapors that degrade lesser materials. Unlike factory cork or paper gaskets, the silicone construction maintains flexibility, preventing cracks and ensuring a tight seal over thousands of thermal cycles.
The heater blower plate, mounted near the 1.7L, 1.8L, or 2.0L engine, channels airflow from the heat exchangers to the cabin. A failed gasket can leak warm air, reducing heating efficiency and allowing contaminants into the system, which can clog heater valves or foul the blower. This kit’s stainless hardware resists corrosion, critical in the 914’s moisture-prone engine bay, and ensures secure mounting without over-compression. Installation is straightforward but demands care to align the plate evenly for optimal sealing.
PMB Performance knows the 914’s heating system quirks—from cable adjustments to exchanger flow rates. Whether you’re winterizing a daily driver or perfecting a show car, we’ve got the know-how to back you up. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
