Just for fun, I hit the thermostat with a heat gun.

Since the thermostat cable looks just like a bike shifter cable, I got out my bike cable shears.

With the rear housing half mounted, I got the oil cooler bracket.

But the fit is kinda loose. Note the gap at the top. And unlike the original, there is no groove for the wire clip.

Thanks. I see a tunnel, and a light, and all that--I think.

As expected, the engine stand yoke interferes with the sheet metal on the right side. The yoke made it possible to install the flywheel, but now has to get out of the way.

First, build a raised support for my engine jack. Step 1: lay out some handy truck tires.

Step 2: screw together some handy lengths of 2x8, and sit the jack in place. BTW, this is a Harbor Freight motorcycle jack that almost perfectly supports the 914 engine case.

Engine supported, and the stand pulled back. That made it easy to unbolt the yoke.

Old engine stand adjustable yoke bolted on. This requires some clever spaces and washers with one side ground away to clear the lip on the engine case.
