The build has taken a detour! After many attempts to start the car it is just not possible to get the timing correct. It did seem like the cam timing was off so I gave @sixnotfour a call, went thru other possibilities and as it turns out the engine builder did set the cams incorrectly!

I pulled the motor and brought it to Kinnaman’s ( @Bartlett 914 ) shop which is nice and clean to not only set the cam timing but also add rocker arm seals.

Known builder, or someone's friend of a friend?

Someone local to Bill

Another incident today with a Turbo...many shop hrs...Ya your right cam 180 out.

The rocker arm shafts moved after only trying to start the car

When you pull the covers you will see there is narrow web and a thick web..So it will appear as your pic. on the thick web side

Cams set, just need to go thru the rest of the rocker shafts now

after cams were set the engine was reassembled and installed again.
Finally the engine started yesterday! thanks to Mark Kinnaman’s ( @Bartlett 914 ), we got the engine in pretty quickly!

where did you find new yellow zinc hose clamps?
I only have one original that was in decent shape amd could not find a sourced for these

Phil

they are old clamps that are cadmium plated (re-plated)

Shouldn't the fog light switch be a green one?

I think the green one is for the rear window defogger

Yummy Stomski tools...

You are correct, I don't have one at this point and I am trouble shooting wiring so yellow it is...for now

I love these tools!!!

Is it really cadmium or yellow zinc? I know the factory parts are cadmium but I haven't found anyone in CA that does cadmium plating.

They actually still cadmium plate here in IL

We had an issue with one of the cam oil feeds, replaced and significantly less oil leakage. I went ahead and connects accelerator and clutch cables and took her out for a parking lot tour yesterday. The engine starts and runs smooth!

There was another problem with the Kroon wiring harness, the back-up switch and the brake light were switch, As a result the back-up light did not work and the brake light was always on. Here is the sorted wiring. Thanks @Bartlett 914 for lending a hand!

Is Kroon giving any rebates for the redevelopment work ??

Kudos on the build. Just beautiful. Curious where you sourced Your fuel oil pressure gauge to replace the fuel parking brake gauge of the standard 914 gauge. Also, did you obtain an original 914-6 tach (with the higher redline) or did you have it converted?

Anxious to see this completed.

Bill is waiting until I document all the wiring issues so as to just file one report. Electrically I only have one last item to fix and that is the interior light and door switched. There was an issue with headlight switch that I will have fixed tomorrow.
I was contacted by two individuals who bought Kroon harnesses and after inspection they did NOT have the same defects...bad QC I guess

Thanks!
Both gauges came to my shop with the 914/6 so this would be a question for @Targa70
Bill?

Finished up wiring for fog light indicator and gauge back lights (thru dimmer) on the headlight switch.
