OK, I have a tendency to move faster than I think, amazing I got this far in life. I was reading the assembly procedures for the clutch and clutch pressure plate, as I read it talked about marking the position of the pressure plate in relation to the flywheel in order to maintain the balance. DAMNIT! Yup you guessed it I didn't do that. Primarily because I haven't had to do it with the standard block engines I have worked on before.
So, is there a way to remedy this mistake or am I just kinda hosed and, how much of a difference will it make since the rest of the motor was balanced? |

The oil strainer is listed at 9 ft/lbs in my bus book. My 914 book is out in the garage. I would think the torque is the same for the 914 block. I do know that if you overtighten it the block will crack in a very bad way. The three 914 flywheels I have all had a mark on the circumference that lined up with the split in the case for TDC on #1. I am surprised yours doesn't have one. At least you found the index pin and put it on the crank.
I hope the weather gets better here. If it doesn't I won't get a chance to drive mine before my deployment. Good luck with yours. |

Also makes it more challenging to work on the motor since it is in the garage...in the cold! Keep your head down, hope to see you when you get back. Jake, thanks, will see if there are marks somewhere on the flywheel tomorrow, a bit dark at the moment and my tiny German garage has an electrical problem that keeps flipping the breaker so no light! |
