The time has come to start assembling the motor. I painted the tins over the weekend and, all that is left to paint is the fan assembly. 2 years of strip, clean condition paint......... I am done...
I will be cleaning up the garage over the Holiday and weekend and start assembling the motor this weekend or next week. Its been a long 2 years gathering all this, and is hard to believe it is almost time. I will be checking in and asking for advice on the engine build in this thread as my motor is nearly identical to the 914. I have TWO questions at this point, 1. I seem to have misplaced the new recommended list of engine case and sealants. Does anyone have this? 2. It is time to decide if I will use the Steel backed silverline (made in Mexico) bearings, or the non steel backed Mahle (looks to be Brazil). Yeah, I know there are a million opinions on this, and I plan to go with the steel backed at this point, but figured I'd ask. Appreciate any advice here, is my first Type 4 build. THANKS! |

On a 914, that piece doesn't go all the way down to the exhaust. It just sticks out and down, and it led onto the fan shroud by a couple of nuts. (Bolts? I forget!)
There is no other bracket. There is a plate that goes across the front of the alternator and bolts to the front of the fan shroud. ("Front" meaning toward the front of the 914.) The alternator pivot bolt goes through the plate, which has a square hole to hold the carriage bolt in place while you put the nut on the back side. --DD |
