So.... I got all these cool parts, straight trade, his junk for my junk.
Doesn't matter how I look at this, a big four adds almost 0 value to a 914, stick a six in and it's worth a lot more. Especially here in Canada! I'm actually down sizing from a 2.7 T4 to a 2.0 six (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I got a 75 911S with 69T 2.0 engine and trans, plus four fuchs. I could break this and make a nice tidy profit, but I don't like to tempt fate. I think it would be bad karma to pass this up. I only have 2 of the four fuchs right now but I'm asured I'll have the other 2 and an extra seized 911 engine. No info other than it's seized. The engine has a lot of cool stuff on it 40IDA webers, a 69S dizzy, permatune and turbo lower covers. The guy also said it has "hot cams" so my fingers are crossed and maybe there's some more goodies in there. It turns over nice, lots of meat on my 215mm flywheel (nice) and the cam lobes look good. I'll be doing a rootworks special and will make most of my own parts. I was hoping to use the '75 5-bolt rear hubs, but I think it's the wrong year. I'll get a set of rears hubs off of Eric. I have everything for a 2.7 nickies T4, I'm glad I haven't put it together because it now going in my bug. Almost like fate man, far out. I have no money, but I have a whack (I had a whole other stroker engine for the bug) of nice T4 stuff that will be in the classifieds real soon. I'll be listing some stuff today (and later this week) here first before the samba! I'll trade for /6 parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) -- Cheers Mark Attached image(s) |

Fuch it, I need better instructions....doesn't help when you have no book and are dyslexic as shit.
Am i suppose to be reading the cam lift or the lift at the valve (retainer) which for me is easy as I have P-207 and the proper dial indicator. "0" at #1 TDC with the indicator on the cam intake #1, I get a negative number, -.15mm when on #4 TDC Is there a "how to " on this anywhere? |

This actually sound right to me, that is if by a negative number you mean the dial indicator has extended out as the intake valve moved down (opened). You set it up on TDC #1 and zero'd the dial indicator on #1 intake valve. You turned the crank 1 full turn to TDC #4 which is where #1 in in overlap, which mean both the intake valve and exhaust valve are partially open. The measurement you got would be the cam timing that is currently set on you engine. I don't know how precise you were when you came up on TDC #4 but you need to be very careful and stop just as you reach the mark. You also need the valve adjusted carefully and the cam chain tensioned. This will not tell you which cam you have though just your cam timing. Have you popped the chain cover off and checked to see if you can read the cam designation stamped on the end of the cam? I don't recall all the designations but factory cams are stamped on the end by the sprocket and the numbers can be looked up. 6 digit number should start with 911. Good luck. Jim |
