So I got my '75 2056 back from the machine shop and began dressing it up. I tested and cleaned some fuel injectors and found that I have 4 good ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
As I got to fitting the cooling tins, I found that the cylinder heads are on backward. CHT sensor is supposed to go on the 3-4 side... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think I've seen this problem on here somewhere but can't find it now. The immediate concern is the wire location for,the CHT sensor. I'm thinking the only correct way to fix is to take everything back apart and switch cylinder head sides. If I had ample time to work on this, I wouldn't be so frustrated.

That's a bummer. Agree with Mark, though: #3 is the hot one.
Are the heads really identical except for the CHT threaded hole? I never looked that closely... intakes? exhaust ports? Anyway, by the time you drill & tap you can have switched the heads. It's not that hard, especially on a new build and if you still have with the engine out and the tin off. There you go: free advice - it's worth exactly what you paid for it. Good luck. |
