 Another what's this question, It must be aftermarket, never seen it on an engine before |

Of course, this being my only 75' it could be something emissions related but I'm guessing, it's some kind of aftermarket tuning aid.

QUOTE(914werke @ Jan 27 2023, 04:14 PM)  Timing bar. stock on bus engines here is the engine #. The car was 696 in the 1st production run for 75'. Were they pulling 2.0 stock from the bus engine pool?  |

The bus engine also had a plastic screen over the fan inlet. bus engines usually did not have the timing hole drilled out in the fan casting along with the little plug to seal it. instead the timing gauge was used. made it easier for mechanics working on the bus to do timing as the engine bay is not very high to put your head in there with a strobe timing light. not sure why you would add it to a 914 engine. you would have to put a mirror on the firewall to see it?  |

probably a previous owner down the track liked to do the timing with a mirror. quirky! |

Maybe someone scavenged the outer fan housing from a bus motor?

How are you going to check your timing ?
Better mark the flywheel before installing the engine or poke a large hole in your firewall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Beautiful engine ! |

The view of the normal timing marks is through the hole at the top of the fan housing. Your fan housing (for a VW bus) doesn't have the normal 914 hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Your work is beautiful....am I missing something ? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) its ratwell's motor from his bus. see ratwell's website about buses. read the topic from top to bottom. don't worry i've done it before and missed the flow of the thread.
