Looks like Maddog removed his post in the Resources Section for his "copy" of the RJ bulkhead mount.

Quick Six mount has same problems as a 4 mount....it hangs down and you can whack crap with it. My reason for a bulkhead.

I think the "Quick Six" mount is the one from Motor Miester.

The PMS bar is like a roll bar with tabs on it.
Allows you to use the 911 sport motor mounts, too.

My comment about going back to a FOUR was a joke...Mostly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

If I do blow up my SIX, I do have options.


BTW, the bar mount doesn't drag, headers and air disturbing flaps are the same height or lower.

Well KT, the bar I'm talkin' about is an early 4 bar with the /6 engine mount welded on it. The flaps are flexible, the bar isn't and as low as I am the bar catches shit (speed bumps, etc), but the HE's don't hit.....this experience is on a 4 banger......

The only parts* of my car that ever scrape on a speed bump are the bolts for my sub-belt. My car is one of the lower ones as well.

If I pull off the side of the road and there is a low shoulder, I've nicked the headers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

I like Rich Johnson's design  -it uses 911 mounts which will give me some vibration insulation. Not sure whether PMS has any? I like the swivelling design...but by the time I've removed my gear linkage, clutch cable etc not sure the extra 2 bolts would save that much time & I would have to jack the rear up pretty high to get clearance for valves etc. Perfect on a race car like Brant's

James,

it even easier than that.
to do a valve adjustment this is all I have to remove:

1x right rear air horn and air cleaner
1x shift linkage bar
1x clamp that I screwed into the chassis to hold the extra oil line up out of the way
4x 13mm nuts and bolts that hold the rear tranny mounts on.

that is it!
don't have to remove the exhaust.
don't remove the clutch cable
don't remove the throttle cable
don't unhook any electrical connections
don't unhook any oil lines.

when we designed the lines and cables we routed them in such a way as to accomodate this. It is supper easy to tip the motor for valve adjustments. To be honest, this is the ONLY reason we went with this mount. It takes longer to drain the oil than it does to tip the motor for valves. I'll bet we adjusted the valves 7 - 10 times this last summer. (new motor)

I'm all for saving time and doing the valve adjust with the motor in the car...but.

How long does it take?

How does one get around the tight quarters?

Valve adusts were *fun* enough with the FOUR.



KT

I have a system. Actual working time is 4-6 hours.
What tight quarters? A 90 deg bend in your feeler gauge
and proper tools. I do it yearly when the car is up on blocks....may do it today, in fact.

As Brant says, I remove nuthin' but the cam covers & engine lid.

the six engine wiring harness should be very simple:

2 wires for the coil (copy /4)
oil temp (copy /4)
oil pressure (copy /4)

check out the blog from lapuwali, he has a excellent wiring diagram write-up with the pinouts you'll need or want.

you might as well go with as much new wiring/connectors as you can to help eliminate electrical gremlins in the future
