Looking really good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Can’t wait to get to that point on my rustoration! I think a a few months away still, but seeing this gives me huge motivation. One question. What is the shop going to do with the existing seam sealer? I’ve had to dig a lot of it out in order to repair rust and I’m debating taking all of it out before blasting. My thought is that this would uncover any more rust that may be lurking beneath and would allow for a good coat of primer under the new seam sealer. Your opinion on this?

During all my work, I probed the existing sealer, especially around the edges. Anything that looked detached or with evidence of rust underneath, I removed--at least until I found clean metal. The shop will continue with this strategy. I did not want to remove all existing sealer. BTW, my shop owner is a firm believer in applying sealer (and filler) directly to metal, and then prime over that.

I got my parts washer going again today with new solvent, and did a quick cleaning of the engine case. Looks like the previous rebuild used black silicone on everything, including the case seam (but red silicone on the push rod tubes).

Better get a case of that "Goof Off" stuff.

I don't want to mess things up with the wrong solvent. I expect the machine shop to know better.

While taking a break from cleaning engine parts, I decided to make an official 914 bracket for my engine stand. This mount to the right half of the case, with two thick-wall tubes for the bolts.

I made the semi-circle ring that rests on the case flange from 3/16 by 1.5 inch bar.

This should be a fun TIG welding project for my son next week.

Good job!

I should have taken this opportunity to build an engine along with you.

I have all parts to build a 2.0 in storage. The case was decked by Len Hoffman - new pistons and cylinders - wrist pins machined by Jon Larson (Cap'n Krusty).

Another project for another day...

Sleep is highly over-rated.

Are you going to use the machine shop out by Cortez?

Not sure yet. I have been talking with Dan at Competition Engineering in Phoenix.

I cleaned up the heads a bit. Still lots of baked-on crud. I discovered the #1 spark plug hole has an insert.

And the right side sheet metal has a bunch of cracks, and a nasty PO repair.

I disassembled the blower housing. Yes, that is awesome red paint.

Separating the front and rear was a bit difficult, with the front stuck on the locater pins.

After some penetrating oil, and patience, and a bit of gentle prying from the inside, it cam apart.

Great progress Bob. I like your resourcefulness when needing a tool or part. Momentum must be maintained and can be your best friend at times. BTW, received the front trunk metal piece. Thx again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I need to make one of these, I'll definitely crib from your notes. Nice work!
