The time has come to start assembling the motor. I painted the tins over the weekend and, all that is left to paint is the fan assembly. 2 years of strip, clean condition paint......... I am done...
I will be cleaning up the garage over the Holiday and weekend and start assembling the motor this weekend or next week. Its been a long 2 years gathering all this, and is hard to believe it is almost time. I will be checking in and asking for advice on the engine build in this thread as my motor is nearly identical to the 914. I have TWO questions at this point, 1. I seem to have misplaced the new recommended list of engine case and sealants. Does anyone have this? 2. It is time to decide if I will use the Steel backed silverline (made in Mexico) bearings, or the non steel backed Mahle (looks to be Brazil). Yeah, I know there are a million opinions on this, and I plan to go with the steel backed at this point, but figured I'd ask. Appreciate any advice here, is my first Type 4 build. THANKS! |

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm still looking for the list of 'what goo goes where.' When I bought my stuff, it was the 'blackout' period when the type 4 store was in transition, so I diddnt buy it from them, but got 2-3 of the items individually. Dont want to spend the $ just to get the list unnecessarily. PM or e-mail works too, if proprietary issues are a concern. I will eventually go to Tangerine system, or synclink, or something. I've got a few mods to the Scat to try out, and at this point, until the car comes back from the body shop and final bill there, I need to stick with my prior purchases. The scat doesnt use the air cleaners as a pivotpoint, it is a center/bellhousing/case center mount. Not as smooth as the Tangerine, but with a few mods will do for now. On the Lubalobe VS Webcam, my supplier (Jorge at EMW) and I had a long discussion about this, his rec for the cam was the lubealobe over the webcams, not sure why. From what I've read only the double spring super heavy valve spring rates create a problem with the lifters. The Hoffman heads/springs and swivel head adjusters make lube a lobe a good choice, or at least that is what I remember us discussing last year. There are a few areas of my build I wish I could have gone 'up' but there has to be a limit, especially when you are doing EVERYTHING" at the same time. I tried to go middle to good/and balance economy on a few things. Phase 2, in a few years, or an unexpected $2K in my lap will bring the following: - Air Intake - http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/08/isis-thr...he-white-house/ LOL EDIT, I was writing an article on genocide prevention, pasted the wrong link (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Here is the right link. http://www.csp-shop.com/cgi-bin/cshop2/fro...mp;artnr=19931b - Tangerine Carb Linkage - Upgraded Ignition |
