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! |

I assembled the short block today (more details in #770 thread)
I went through the Reinz kit and have a few questions Picture 1 is the drain plug, not sure which of the silver gaskets go with it. The one in the center is thick and solid, the one on the right is softer. I doubt the copper goes with it. Where do the other two go? Picture 2 is a collection of two medium o rings, and a thin black. NO idea where they go. My guess on the small is for the distributor shaft, but no idea on the larger one. The remaining pics show what gaskets I matched with what. 3 Is flywheel o ring 4 is the large pressure relief piston |

Thanks Chris, I figured one of them was for the distributor. I already replaced the o ring on the oil pickup tube.
Still not sure what the large black/thin o ring is for. I assumed the hollow gasket was for the drain plug as the one I pulled off the plug on dissasembly was soft alum. Top left is for the oil pickup tube inside the crankcase. Lower left is for the distributor. |

Still not sure what the large black/thin o ring is for. Top left is for the oil pickup tube inside the crankcase. Lower left is for the distributor. It's the oil pump seal. When you take the oil pump apart, you'll see it selling the 2 halfs. |

Ah, thanks that makes sense. I am not using the stock pump. Great, thanks I can sleep well tonight!
