Car was parked and a little kid, not more than 8-9 walks to the back, and says "dad, it's a 4, not a 6"...

Told the dad he was raising his kid correctly...

They treated the roads early this year, so the 914 went to winter storage. Always a sad day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yesterday was fabrication of an oil line cover to prevent rock chip damage in the wheelwell. I am routing lines the factory way so this is a necessary addition.

Also checked out linkage pieces, all brand shiny new...

Refurbed original 914-6 Weber carbs on PMO intakes . 40IDF I rebuilt them with the Pelican kits + new srings after having them ultrasonically cleaned to a perfection and the shafts are rock solid so I think I can get a decent tune on them once on the 3.0

I had Webcam regrind and harden the stock cams to a 20/21 grind and have re-curved my dizzy to match. If I can't make this thing sing, I am going to be somewhat disappointed............

Thanks! Actually they're AA. I know there have been some quality issues in the past, but these look great. And I bought them through McMark, so he must be happy with what they're producing these days. They're replacing the P&Cs on the 2056 Mark built 10 years ago. The PO wasn't kind to this engine, se we needed to refresh the top end.

It became an organ doner to save the lives of other 914s across the country...

I spent the day harvesting parts.

A bit sad. But WAAAAAY better than a scrap yard!
