Engine Mod Reminder Options

[DennisV]

Does anyone have a clever tip for how to remind yourself, and potentially others, about engine mods without being too overt about it?

For example, our 914-6 engine has an E-grind on the cam instead of the stock T profile.

The only thing I've seen was on our car. It's on the support beam on the underside of the engine lid. I don't love it, but it's somewhat hidden and effective. Wish they hadn't screwed it on.

Better ideas?



P.S. No. The 911S engine didn't come with the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

To set the cam timing the cam covers must come off. You can then inspect the cams. they are numbered on the end that is visible.

You pretty much can’t set the timing without knowing what cams are in there. It is not something that you do as part of routine maintenance. It is done once when the engine is built and not redone unless there is a problem. Likely any reasonably competent mechanic who is able to diagnose the problem, remove the engine and take off the cam covers will know to check the cams.

I like the sticker, it’s cool but probably not necessary
