This build was years of collecting parts, and months of buildin, waiting, getting help, finishing, breaking, and rebuilding. It runs awesome. Highly reccomended motor!!

I went ahead and added some gauges to the teener today. (3) to be exact. I got rid of the clock and replaced it with an oil pressure gauge. It is smaller than the stock gauge, so I used a bit of superglue and managed to get my aluminum ring to fit pretty well. I didnt want to loose the uniform look with the trim rings I purchased.

The other 2 went on the pillar, a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the D-Jet, and a Air Fuel gauge to keep in tune. biggrin.gif I did not want to install the pillar at first, but bit the bullet when i saw the alternatives. I actually really like it

I orderd some wheel spacers to get the front wheels pushed out to fill in the wheel wells. The front track on the 914 is actually about 1.5 inches narrower than the rear. Finding 4 bolt spacers was not easy, but the hubcentric ones I found are absolutly awesome. I had to get some custom bolts that were 20mm longer than the 38mm stock bolts. The spacers are 20mm each. The front track is now the same as the rear, and it looks bitchin

The Plan:

Headunit goes into the stock position. PLD1 goes in passenger footwell, hidden under carpet. DD5 goes into center console. EQ goes between seats, hidden under center cushion. LPL44 Remote knob mounts to new center console. 3 Amplifiers in rear trunk desigend by Me 6.5 drivers go into fiberglass kicks. Tweets go on the pillars or dash. Woofers go in front trunk w/ another wood/glass enclosure.

All of it completely hidden from view.

This is what a dropped valve seat looks like
Notice how the intake adjuster screw is all the way in on the rocker arm. Not a good sign. You will also hear a terrible clackity sound
