Good news, my local buddy had the oil support bracket and two pcs of tin I was missing. Sunday is still a go for motor installation.

The new 19mm MC from 914rubber.com arrived today too with the easy install option.

Last night I installed the CSP linkage bracket. Guessing that the six extra washers are to be used as spacers. KINDA janky if you ask me, but washers work.

I'm not sure I'm cool with the through-bolts not eating up more thread than that with the throttle cable support bracket installed. I'll probably need replace those two for piece of mind.

Maybe I'll invest in a bellows kit. IDK, I've never had one working on any 914 I've owned.

If you don't install the bellows make sure to put a bolt in the mounting hole since it goes through the case and if left open will result in some pretty major oil leakage.

Just ordered a 911 starter, though I'm missing my main power lead for the starter.

Any advice on the wire gauge I should use? Thinking 4 would be fine.

Randy,
I'm not sure how you tightened this band with the screw installed backwards. When turned around it's easier to access from below, especially if you ever need to replace the alternator later with the engine in the car.

Hey Marty! Long time...

Ah! The top photo's angle is deceptive. I tightened that before installing the back alternator plate. You're right though, that's going to be a pain in the butt to take off if I have the motor in the car. Knock on wood, but I haven't had to swap alternators with the motor installed yet. Hmm, I'll look at that this evening. Thanks for the sharp eye!

I've had to R&R an alternator a couple of times and believe me you don't need any extra drama when changing one out. It's a crappy job already.

It's supposed to be a total PIA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Hopefully I can turn that around without too much cussing.

Started back on the motor assembly Friday. Installed the oil cooler support and plugged up that the bellows pulley hole (Thanks SirAndy!).

I used some Form-A-Gasket in hopes too keep it from seeping oil.

Looking almost ready for installation at this point.

Installed the old sealed-beam lights. I'll likely pick up the 914rubber LED kit soon.

The old 901 is looking pretty dirty after sitting for so many years. Took it outback and scraped at it for about an hour with amble amounts of Simple Green. Here's the before pic.

Installed new cup bushing, side bushings, throwout bearing.

Cell phone shots are coming in at whatever orientation the phone was in when I took the shot. Hmmm, not worth opening and closing in PhotoShop to fix (yet).

Test fitted the carbs and setup the linkage. Switched the orientation of the fuel inlet nipple on one of the carbs. Oh yeah, also installed longer 40mm intake manifold studs to accommodate the fiber gaskets + thicker cast intake manifolds.

Is there any reason I can't use this part? Think it's off a bus and it doesn't have the PCV valve. I've got a single head vent that's going to be sent to a my catch can. Otherwise I need to hunt down the 914 part.

Is this the Brad Penn oil that's recommended?

She's only been outside twice in the past eight years. Bath time!

My friend Jon came by for the day. First order of business was to get the motor off the stand and onto a dolly. Torqued the flyweel bolts and put on the last few pieces of tin.
