What was the original use for the large hole on the flywheel side of the right (passenger) engine case?
Looks like it could have been a good flywheel lock location. To me it looks like very good spot for a crankshaft position sensor... What was its original reason for being there? |

There was an automatic transmission available in the VW 411 and 412. That hole was used to put in the bolts that connect the torque converter to the flex plate. Years ago, I machined the proper slots in the back of the flywheel, and put a GM DIS ignition on a 2.0L engine. I used that hole with a machined insert to hold the crank sensor. The limp mode advance curve of the GM DIS was almost identical to the stock curve on the distributor. It ran great until the starter chewed up the flywheel ring gear. Then I put the distributor back in when I replaced the flywheel. My plan at the time was to use a GM EFI from a 2.0L 4 cylinder to run the 914 engine. But with the death of the flywheel, the project never went any farther. |
