Kelly,
It is purdy, put it back together and enjoy. I like my attention ho 914 much more than I ever did the very reliable 75 911s I had...never a single problem with the 2.7... Drove it cross country in 93, and the only hiccup was an almost imperceptible hesitation as I was crossing Summit pass in CO...never gave me a problem.... |

Making sure the pulley part runs true as well.

I had the fan balanced as a whole, it didn't come out perfect but they didn't have to drill it. How much out of balance is too much?
Also, what marks should I make before plugging this thing back on the engine? At this point I'm pretty much dying to get my daily driver back on the road. |

I had the fan balanced as a whole, it didn't come out perfect but they didn't have to drill it. How much out of balance is too much? How far out of balance did the shop tell you it was? If they didn't drill it, maybe it wasn't too far out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) QUOTE Also, what marks should I make before plugging this thing back on the engine? ... TDC and either 7.5° (1.8L), or 27° BTDC (1.7 & 2.0L).Here's a good tech article on Pelican: Click Here |

Although not my preferred vendor (or 2nd, 3rd), AA has a new type of thermostat that is supposed to work. Their part # : R021119159A, and last I checked it was $74.50. Although this week in the Valley we sure don't need a thermostat as was pointed out above.
All looks great by the way. Keith |

I went ahead and ordered a thermostat on thesamba, probably not necessary but hopefully it helps a bit with warm-ups.
The fan was a couple of grams off, the shop did not recommend to drill it. I ended up marking TDC and the hard mark on the fan. It's coming together. Attached image(s) |
