Wife and son are out shopping, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) , little girl is napping, dad gets a little garage time.

Cleaned up the pistons, deglazed the cylinders and cleaned up the fins, one broken one.

Still debating on sending the heads for a going over, after reading other thread today leaning towards having them worked on. Pretty sure my wallet wont like that one.

Took the heads into a local VW shop, Ole Volks Home, and had the guy clean them up and check them out. Said they looked like they had been worked on recently, with new valve put in not many miles ago. Which jives with what the guy told me that I bought the engine from. Spark plug holes look good, no cracks that I can see.

Hey Eric, yes my office is in the Sunriver Village Mall. I live about 7 miles outside of Sunriver, couldn't live with the Sunrvier CC&Rs - very restrictive. Drop me a pm or email if you are heading this way you can check out my project and we can shoot the sh!t.

History on the engine is that there is a guy that lives not far from me that has 3 parts 914s, two ok running 914's and is in the middle of a V8 conversion. he know about this place but isn't a poster.This engine is out of the car that he is converting. It's a 75 and all the smog stuff was removed long ago. I actually know the person that owned the car previously and work was done right before it was sold. I got a good deal on it.

BTW both my brother and sister graduated from the U of O, they loved it there.

Thanks Jeff for the link.

After reading that and a few other threads on here the galley plugs scare me but since the case is together I can't drill and tap. What other options do I have?

Yes its been a while since I have posted anything on this thread but progress has been slow, and its cold in my non insulated garage. I got some time the last few days and the assembly has begun. Heads are back on, flywheel, and valves adjusted.

I'm not sure what to think about these valve adjust screws on cylinder #2. It seems like they are backed way out to get them into adjustment.

Great progress. I gotta see how it runs. I see you routed the oil breather to the plenumn. Let me know if it sucks oil.

Yeah we'll see, from the diagram I had that was the routing.

I used the filler off my 1.7 cause the fitting on the breather from the 2.0 was too big for the hose that's why it wraps around kinda funny

I was looking at that too, probably should get the 73-74 2.0 or 1.7 breather tower with a PCV valve on it to keep the oil from being sucked into the plenum.

Oh the frustration. Tried to do a test fire last night, tried to fire on one cylinder. I knew I had spark. Pull the injectors and 1 of the 4 were working. They were supposed to be in good working order. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

So I soaked them overnight, we'll see what happens.

After getting the injectors all cleaned and tested I got the engine to fire up, but I had a possible head leak. I hadn't lapped the cylinders to the head.

So I yanked the engine back out and stripped it all down and did what I should have in the first place.

That was a weak and a half ago and today was the big day. Did the static timing thing and that is the way to go, never had a 5deg mark on the fan before but I put one on. She fired right up and smooth too. Ran it at 2100 for 15 min, adjusted the idle, checked the timing and went for a drive around the block.

WOW how different it is than the tired 1.7 that wasn't even running when I got the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Now on the the thousand other things to work on, hopefully not on jackstands for awhile. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
