OK, so I have searched and can't find a thread related to my situation, maybe because people are smarter and more experienced than me. The question is pretty much spelled out in the topic description.
The crank, rods, piston and cylinders are 2.0, the heads are machined 1.7, what measurement do I use for the valve adjustment? 1.7 or 2.0? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I am leaning towards 1.7 but would like to get an educated opinion from the group. Help please, I want to re-do the valve adjustment before I mess with anything else. |

OK, so, after fiddling around with trying to find TDC, distributor notch not lined up properly and no mark on the impeller fan, I finally got all the valves adjusted.
Unfortunately, she will turn over BUT, won't start! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Now, she started on Saturday, ran rough but started then cut out and I couldn't get her to start again. Maybe I flooded the motor? Before I elicit help on the starting piece let me make sure I got TDC correct. I did some searching on the PP forum for finding TDC as well. Here is one simple question as I know it is true on my MG motors. There are two times that TDC on #1 are reached; intake stroke and exhaust stroke. Is it possible that I found TDC on the exhaust stroke and therefore adjusted the valves incorrectly? If, this is not the case with the 914, then, any suggestions on getting her to start? I am thinking ether to get it going and use any fuel that flooded the motor? If I screwed up what I think is TDC then I guess I'll go back to valve adjustment mode tomorrow! I really wish I married a contortionist!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
