The 1969 911T engine didn't have bearings in the case for the layshaft. However, the 1970 911T (2.2) did.
Some upgrades were done to the 2.0 engine in the 914/6. For example, in 71, they added piston squirters.
Did the 2.0 case in 1970/71 get the bearings for the layshaft, or does the shaft run in the case without bearings? Bruce Anderson's book doesn't specifically address this.

Hi Eric,
Yes, they put the layshaft bearing into the mag case in 1969. I have never seen a real 914/6 crankcase without the layshaft bearing.

I just finished rebuilding mine, and it had bearings on that shaft. It was the original '70 engine
Thanks Eric... thanks Jack.

That's good, I had been wondering the same thing for a
few years. My motor had been rebuilt by the PO, but it
didn't mention anything about modifying that area on the
build sheet.

I don't think Bruce is on the board but he should be. He's a BIG 914-6 fan after owning one for years.
