Finally got around to sending the heads off to get some work done on them. I sent them to Rimco to have the work done. Thats the last step before completing the engine build.

I did a bit more preassembly tonight and I'm very pleased with the way things are looking. Now if only its performs as good as it looks.

As soon as the holidays are over I'm sending the heads out to be worked on. Thats the last step before final assembly then firing it up.. beerchug.gif

Well as you all know a lot has happened since the last post in this Blog. I started the assembly of the lower end of the engine, got it all completed and did a preassembly of the engine. The heads still have to go out to have some work done on them. I did the preassembly to make sure I had all the hardware needed to complete the process. So far so good on the build, its been keeping me busy on these cold winter nights. Pictures of the progress

I got the fuel rails all finished and cleaned up for powdercoating. Installed the rails to the runners.

I spend a couple of hours today doing some reverse engineering. I got my fuel rail extrusion cut into 8 inch sections. Measured where the fuel inlets would be mounted for the fuel injector side of the fuel rail then I drilled and tapped the holes to except the nipples that the injector hose will be fitted to. All toll the total cost to make these rails was about 43 bucks. All thats left for me to do is to powdercoat the rails and thats it....... Hour and a halfs work, 43 bucks and you have an updated fuel rail,,, hellva lot better than paying 200 buks for the same thing.

For the last 4 years I've been accumulating new and used parts to build a spare motor for the 914. I've got most everything needed to start the build of the engine.

The engine that I plan on building will be a stock 2.0L EFI. D-Jet with Euro pistons, stock cam. Will have new MPS, a rebuilt ECU, New TPS, new Fuel Injectors, new fuel rails, new (used) crankshaft, mic'd and polished. New rebuilt rods, new clutch disc, new pressure plate, new oil cooler, new trigger points, new cap and rotor, new condenser, new points, all new sensors.

As of now I'm about to start the building process of the lower end. I'm just waiting on parts to come back from being balanced. I will get the lower end build and seal up the case. I have to wait on my heads to come back from being worked on. So far I have powdercoated all the engine tin (satin Black), including the flappers, refurbished the fan housing, installed anodized fuel lines going from one fuel rail to the other mounted to the top of the fan housing to eliminate the fuel line from laying across the top of the engine. I'm putting anodized fuel lines in the front and rear of the engine compartment. I've recovered the alternator harness. In the process now of building new fuel rails, I've puchased 2 feet of fuel rail extrusion and will build the new fuel rails from this.

I will be posting pics of the process
