This may be the toughest thing to do. Getting the wire locks in to retain the wrist pins. Nerve racking too, cause it would be easy to drop them.

Stuff for the front seal under the hub. I almost forgot the O-ring. 2" PVC works well for driving in the seal.

The big job of the day was balancing the new flywheel bolts. The old ones jake had supplied were exactly the same weight. Using a scale and then a balance and removing ever so slight an amount the new ones are all equal in weight. They are also clearance slightly.

Not another one! Group: Benefactors Posts: 4,526 Joined: 1-March 04 From: San Mateo, CA Member No.: 1,743  |
A shop rag or two stuffed into the cylinder spigot will do a lot to prevent bits from falling into the case. This is generally good practice whenever the case is assembled, and you're putting things onto it (like a certain wavy washer that made a bit for freedom). Just remember to pull them out before you put the cylinders on. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Here is the spacing sleeve in the end of the crankshaft. It keeps the pilot bearing in place.

Damn James that's a good idea. That would have made that set less stressful.

An old stub axle is just the right size to seat the rear main seal. The three shims are in already with a little lube.

Pressure plate installed. The bolts are numbered with a stamp and the corresponding holes are numbered so I won't throw off the balance.

Great Job, Must feel really good to get this rebuild done again, and let us know the performance of this Raby combo - I am thinking about it for my 4cly car.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) Keep up the great work. |

Dave, Hurry up and get that damn thing running!
914forme, I have tons of folks you could contact about the "Performance" of one of my kits like Dave is putting together here, most of them are not on this board. |

It's going in Labor Day weekend. I hate to wait but, I'm headed to Whistler for the PCA thing up there and I just don't have enough time to get it in, running, tuned, retorqued and valves adjusted, oil changed and some miles on it. It's killing me to wait. Sometimes it's damn hard acting like and adult. I'll just run Old Smoky. I'll lay down a smoke screen on the AX course. The tail draggers got to have something to wine about.
I have a real good feeling about this one. When we torqued the case down it spun so nice and easy and now it just feels more precise. Dave |
