I was told this engine came from a 1.7 that was in a 914. I'm tearing it down to rebuild into a 2056.
First, I found an M12 or M14 triple square bolt with a spring under it. This bolt is located between two pushrod tubes. I'm guessing this is the oil pressure relief since I didn't find the giant slotted plug I was expecting to find...true? Second, there is no windage tray. Did the early motors not have a windage tray? Should I source one and install it? I don't see anyplace in the casting that would receive the tray... Third, I didn't find the serial number where I expected it to be -- in front of the breather tower. Where else could it be? It seems like a low mile case to me...lifters and cam bearings show minimal wear, the cam looks to even be reusable to my untrained eye. If I had to guess i'd say this was a low-mile motor that got parked due to FI problems or something. have no pics but will post some tonight. |
