If my garage heats up to a point where I could put paint on before I get the engine in, that is a consideration. What kind of rust converting paint should be used?

Use the kind that combines air pressure and sand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Or the kind that uses electricity a grinder, and a knotted wire wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)




Then beat yourself over the head with that can of " rust converter " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Zach:

I have dabbled with quite a few rust-proofing options over the past few years. While its to early to really know which, if any, actually work as claimed...I would hit that area on the firewall with a wire wheel, apply two coats of "Rust Bullet" and a top coat and call it a day.

You don't want to be pulling that engine back out to address a rusty firewall next year.

This weekend... The engine may cough to life!!!

Matt, Mark and Bob have agreed to come over and spend the day with me saturday. Get the engine in the car, fuel hoses set, and hopefully start the bitch up!

I'm double checking things this week making sure I'm not going to be held up due to lacking a $.05 washer or something equally stupid.

Punchout list is slowly getting smaller. I'm getting excited!

If anyone else wants to come and help, just let me know!

Never fear, food and beer will be provided.
Also, potentially other goodies.

Looking forward to hearing that engine fire up Zach!

Matt...are you driving the 914 up? I'm undecided...concerned that all this snow melting may cause a wet/salty mess on the roads.

Catch everyone on Saturday.

Two cases of beer are chilling in the garage.
New red top is in the back of the truck.
Engine and various bits are ready to go.
Tomorrow is the day. :-)

Good luck. Just as long as no one tries to put the SCROT winner back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mark, Bob and Matt showed up. Got a lot done, but the engine has not fired yet.

Shifter bar through the big firewall bushing. That was a tedious job even for two people.

Engine is in. Oil lines hooked back up to the cooler. Axles back in but not torqued properly or safety wired. Clutch cable hooked in and adjusted. Engine side fuel lines run.

At this point we broke for lunch. Chili and burritos. Yum.
Then Mark headed out.

Shortly after that a biker slid on gravel into the back of a pickup. Rider went superman over the truck. I called 911 while Bob went over to render assistance. This was essentially the end of the work session. No less then 2 ambulances, 2 cop cars, fire chief and the fire crash truck and a wrecker showed up. Rider was wearing a helmet which is unusual around here. Smart but unusual. Probably saved him.

When that was over Bob needed to head out. Matt and I wanted to get the engine side shifter bar in place and the exchangers / exhaust on. But, the shifter bar is very tight against the bar under the cockpit. There is paint on the inside of the engine bar at the join that I need to remove. Then it should fit.

At this point I was starting to get frustrated and had a headache from laying under the car. It was about 5 and Matt wanted to get home before it was dark. He was driving his 914. So that is where we called it.

Still some work to do, but a lot got done today and I appreciate the help and company!

So, fuel pump question. Bob and Mark puzzled over this for an hour with my Haynes and a tablet online.

So the line from the tank is clear (has a hose and filter on it). Do we run the return line back to the pump? Or should that go direct to the gas tank? This pump is in the front of the car, not in the engine bay.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Chris.

S - Suction/Supply from the tank.
D - Druck(Pressure) goes to the engine.
R - Return: this is a bleed off in case the D port is over pressurized. Connect this with the return line from the engine and the return port in the tank. You need a Tee or 'Y' connection to hook the three lines together.
