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. |

First, my thanks to the Cap'n for setting me on the path to 914 enlightenment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Using the technique in the classics thread made the adjustments a lot faster and easier. Definately screwed the pooch, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) sorry only found a sheep here, on the first boneheaded adjustments. Found some glaring problems as I did proper adjustments would explain why she wouldn't start. Also discovered the dang gasket on the 3&4 bank had slipped and didn't seal properly as was indicated by the oil under the head. So, got everything adjusted and renewed the gasket making sure she stays in place. Will try to start her tomorrow after work. Really wish my German landlord hadn't paid the lowest bidder to wire the garage, I wouldn't have to run an extension cord from my front bathroom to the garage if he had it done right the first time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Will let everyone know how things go tomorrow when I try to fire her up, keep your fingers crossed! The ride to work on the bike was friggin cold, and wet! I'll ride in 30 degree temps but prefer to do it when it is dry so I don't happen upon any black ice! Gotta get the car up and running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
