Engine rebuild, a few questions Options

[stugray]

I have rebuilt a type IV a couple of times, but I was young & naive.
This will be a 2.0L with stock FI for vintage racing.

1 - How do I hook up the stock fuel pump line(s) to a fuel cell?

2 - are there any Cams other than the stock one that will give me increased performance while still using the stock FI?

3 - What compression ratio should I target? I am working that step right now - CC'ing the heads & setting the deck height.

4 - The CAM thrust bearing has just one side with the thrust plate on it. If I recall, when I upgraded my last 914, the guy at the performance shop gave me TWO with the thrust bearing on it (one for each side). Should I be looking for those?

5 - After splitting the case, there were 2 or 3 "bumps" that needed a little "flattening out" with a file. Can the case be damaged by trying to clean up the nasty spots, or is there a way for me to make sure to get it right?

I imagine that the only thing I could do would be to remove all the studs and rub each side over some sandpaper taped down to a very flat surface...

Any help is appreciated.

Ok, Jake.

I have new valves and purchased your race cam package.
Now I am ready to have the heads machined to increase my CR.

However, I dont know exactly how much to have the heads cut to increase to ~9.5:1.
Is there a known amount that I should cut them?
I currently have the stock "slightly dished" 2.0L pistons.
So I figure that if I go to ~9.0:1 with the pistons I have, I can adjust the CR down if I want by adding Shims.

If I want to go UP, I can change to the flat top pistons, but that only gives me a little.

Should I have the machinist go a little extra ( maybe 10:1) so I can always adjust DOWN to what I want?
