When I had the engine put back in the car I noticed the engine tin didn't align with the engine bay anymore. There now was 3" gap between the firewall and the engine tin. I asked the mechanic if there was some adjustment we could do to line up the engine better. He said it was basically a "bolt-up" job and didn't know how to align it further. Today I was looking through George's 700 tips and saw tip #348. Which bascially says if you can't shift into 1st 3rd or fifth, then you've installed the power plant too far back. Sure enough I have had problems with these gears. So how do I go about adjusting the powerplant more forward? I have no idea where the adjustement "play" to move the engine forward or back would be. Any help would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

My head hurts after looking at those pictures. So much..........to.........correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif)
As stated, looks like your engine is pretty much where it should be. The exhaust hanger thing should be corrected. The rear tranny mounts aren't correct. That "cup" washer on the bottom should be on the top with a very thick washer on the bottom. Move those reverse light wires away form that CV. That dishwasher hose will not hold up with oil etc getting into it. The ground strap? Looks like it's connected to the trans mount? Should be on the nice bare metal (Clean) little stud just above the rear of the tranny. Nobody likes talking bad about someone elses work, but you should really take your 914 to someone who knows them if you can't do the work yourself. Oh, the Hell Hole area looks really clean! I see nice green paint, no rust, cool! |
