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! |

Thanks on the alt bracket advice guys, turns out the lower bracket was broken, the back half was missing. Group member has one on its way to me.
Spent yesterday mocking things up, checking nuts/bolts, etc. Discovered that the type 4 rocker shaft bolt set I purchased is the wrong size. My "FOR SALE pile is growing...... Maybe will take pics of everything tonight, I really need to sell some of these excess parts. I need to order 8MM. Had a hard time finding this, any advice where? Anyhow, I spent some time doing a final cleaning of the case, as it has sat since machine shop cleaned it up. I also bit the bullet and put the front bearing and gears back on the crankshaft, went well! Used an old single burner hotplate from the camping box. Not too bad overall, think I have everything lined up the right way! Tonight will do a final cleaning of the connecting rods and windage tray as well as the distributor gear and get all the gaskets, o rings, etc lined up for tomorrow night. Attached thumbnail(s) |
