Took the motor out of this car 04/2011. Finally got the replacement in and cabled/hosed up. Fired right up as soon as I got the carbs full of gas.

Good job!

Hey, can I have that old red tub that's been sitting around forever?

Hiya Mike! Winter, big deal. I'll get a pic in January with the top off when it's 50 and sunny.

It's tangerine, and... no. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Video was taken with open heat exchangers. I still need to swap out those 1.7/1.8 SSI's for 2.0 units so I can get my new triad installed. Also needs rear rotor/calipers at the very least. I have PMB calipers, rotors and Porterfields for all four corners.

There are worse ways to spend a week off work!

Ha, gotta love Colorado, I will look forward to said photo!

Agreed, there are far worse ways to spend a week off, I'd choose 914 wrenching any day over a week on a cruise ship full of boring tourists! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

The transaxle I rebuilt in the Colorado Dr. Evil transaxle rebuild clinic works!

Yesterday I slapped on an old 1.7 glasspack muffler from the stash, installed the shift rod and half-ass adjusted it. Drove it 1/2 a mile. Glad I put Stabil in the gas tank about 100 miles before we pulled the motor out of it in April of 2011. I'm now sold on that stuff.

I might put off the brake replacements until next week when the whether goes to crap. This thing could stand to have a few miles put on it.

Took a 6 mile round trip to get gas and a quickie wash to get rid of 18 months of dust.

Transaxle shifts like buttah! Thanks Doc.

Thermostat doesn't work. Good thing I didn't cable it to the flapper rod.

I put 2.0 SSI's on today and my brand new Triad. Much better than that temporary rusty old glass pack. Got in a valve adjustment with the exchangers off. Easy-peasy... they were all tight. Glad I fixed that. Carbs that sat for 2 years still aren't right. Stumble when on the mains. Idles like a dream though. I should rebuild 'em, but I'm thinking about have ACE do a set for me anyway. I might even buy a couple of new Empi HMPX 40's and have them sent straight to ACE to clean out and jet.

Right now the car is driving and it's still a blast. Especially after not driving a 914 for a year and a half.

Good on ya Gint. I dropped a valve seat on my test drive for the 2011 WCR in May 2011, found some rebuilt heads, 2.0, installed them and the motor has been sitting at the back of my car for a year. Lost the driver's side banjo bolt to my del orto 40's and have not been able to find it. Every couple of weeks or so, I get on my hands and knees and look around but it has not materialized yet. I have no idea why I didn't just put it back in the carb when I pulled the fuel line off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

You'll find it right after you buy a replacement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I forgot what a PITA that german jigsaw puzzle of heater tubes are. Seems to work. I need one of those J tube caps.

McMark's speedo drive mod works great!

I found a rubber cap that fit the J tube at either Home Depot or Menards in the plumbing dept. It may have been part of a kit of some kind. It was a tight fit (or loose...can't remember..) but i clamped it on and it works great!

Hooray! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I cant remember what jets are in those carbs. I will look and see if I can find anything on them. All I ever did was up the idle jets.

Valves were tight? That is weird. They had not been adjusted for probably two years prior to pulling the motor, as the car was not being driven very much. I would have thought they would have been a bit loose!
