He must have brought the engine to the delivery room to work on it. What a breeder.

914 2.0 in the bus? Hope not. Think those heads will crack pretty quick pushing that beast around.

I told you....pick a weekend...provide me a couch to crash on, and a safe place to park...I will get it off the jack stands... It will also purr like a kitten. Only thing I want is to come down saturday and leave sunday so I can go out sat night....I love NYC on sat night. Rich i don,t want you to come down just to fix my car. i think it's gonna be fine by this weekend thanks to you. on the other hand leo imperial (remember him) wants to put his engine in and i am trying to get dr. evil to come up, so maybe we make a weekend out of it. go have some bbq aand beers in the city. Im just looking for a strong enough reason that I can sell to my wife that will allow me to go to NYC during the weekend....fixing a friends car works. Rich |

Seems like everyone ,i think, IS MISSING the obvious starting point. aand the starting point IS .......SET THE VALVE LASH FIRST and correctly....example...you used the distributor rotor to help you determine TDC. if the rotor was OFF ,(did i read 11;00 to 1;00 ) then make the assumption the valves are not properly set. AN INTAKE VALVE if not seated will ,blow fuel and air up the carburator,causing the poping,and fuel fog over around the carbs..do this stuff first....next step is to check the obvious on the carbs,like missing idle jet screws, that fell out,plugged up air correction jet,WATER in the float boal,a float needle thats worn out,fuel pressure thats too high,or loose jet carriers in the carbs.....set the valve lash first.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) i set the valves and rechecked them before i put the engine in. just finished changing the stripped manifold stud and re attached the carb. too late to run it now , but will check it in the a.m. no water in the bowl, air jets all there, not sure about the fuel needle, new cb performance pump, so i asume the pressure is right. i agree , if it still pops , it's back up on the jack stands and i start from scratch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) you may be right, changed the stud, replaced the carb and it's better. only light popping on idle, but still unbalanceable. 10 on the driver side, 3 on the pass side, if i raise the idle on the driver carb..i get pops, lower it in the pass carb.. stalls. so i am removing the carbs,disassemble , clean them , reset them to factory specs, if that ain't it, it's on to the valves again. if that ain't it well ...rich you can pick up the keys from my wife at the wake till then does anyone know the correct float setting?
