Possible it's a bus motor with 914 fan housing and oil filler/breather ,the bus/411 case has an oil tube which incorporates the dipstick ,if you have this you cut the filler tube off and weld it closed as I have done when using the 914 oil filler/breather. The fan if a bus one it will need the timing marks redone to the same marks as the 914 fan unless that is already fitted ,cheers. |
