6 cylinder engine shroud color? Options

[Eddie914]

What color is the engine cooling shroud on the original 914/6?

What color is the engine tin?

Thanks

Eddie

ps: The replacement 2.7 (1977) has finally been delivered. Condition seems OK. Engine turns over freely. Carrera chain tensioners, Turbo lower valve covers, 11 blade fan, replacement oil return tubes, vavle guides look good and mostly original exhaust studs (10 original, 2 replacement ... no timecerts). We will attempt a compression check ASAP.

Wish me luck. There is not a lot of history on the engine. At least there aren't piston bits falling out of the exhaust ports like the old 2.7

Hey Eddie, there were just a few colors used on the engine shrouds. Green, black and red I think?

The original six's were black I think and a 2.7 should be green.

The tin was black.

Those lower turbo valve covers, shave off the rear upper corners of the fins otherwise you will have to lower the engine to remove them.

Or you can do what I do. Leave them off, hang the engine and then try to put them on. Only shave off what you need to. Works good.

Got any pictures for us? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
