Working on my engine, added the oil sloshing cutouts in the rods. I know many people just use a file (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)



Hey Mike! Can you tell me more about this procedure? Have any pictures of completed rods? I assume this is done prior to having rods weight matched and balanced.

Thread about them. Wondering if McMark ever did this or not, he seemed not convinced it works way back then about them.

I'm just going to run 'em as is, the amount removed per rod should be pretty darn close to each other. Basically just a 90° slot that is .060" deep at the point from the surface.

No, the cable slipped thru the screw that holds it in place, Steve. A ten minute job w/ helpers Toast and Justin. I just hung back a few minutes and escorted Elliot and his clunker thru the desert. What a curmudgeon. The A/C had chilled me to the bone and he refused to loan me his jacket as we traversed the Mojave desert. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Celebrating an Anniversary
45 years ago today I walked into a Porsche Dealership
a few towns away and bought a 914-6 that had come back
to them traded in on a 911.

Then I had to go home and tell my dad he had to come
and sign some papers and co-sign the loan.

I was 18... and really wanted a 750 Honda... But my parents
told me to go buy a nice car instead...
Guess I showed them....

Dropped off engine tin for powder coating, picked up converted oil cooler and had the flywheel and PP plate balanced.

Fixed the 4 cyl misfiring issue and monkeyed with the brakes.

Thinking I lost 4th gear somewhere /,................. I cleaned the recently purchased 901 replacement box / checked it out and found it to be a good spare with all gears showing up on dry-check on the bench / now to reseal and add gear oil and place in my car for a true check out. I all goes well, I will have a side-901 for sale back into the marketplace for some deserving soul.

Always default to the lowest common denominator. Linkage. Cheap plastic parts. grease. Clean all gunk and goo and erroneous technical advice.........

And for me, choose to attend a Dr. Evil clinic to actually know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) is going on inside of a 901 box. He knows. We, for the most part, don't....

Waiting to be put back together...

I'm starting to feel like I was never meant to drive my own 914 again.....

Wrong rod bearings now.... got them last week however not had a chance to attach rods to crank until tonight.

Rods = 1.7
Bearing = 2.0

I keep telling myself I'm learning something from these setbacks..... like I should have bought a Miata instead, hahaha.... oh well, what is another few days? I have plenty of other things to work on.

Installed a new to me MoMo steering wheel. This one is out of a factory 1983 Ferrari BB512i. The owner swapped it out on his Ferrari for a Monte Carlo MoMo back in the mid 80's. He sold his car back in 1989 and this one has been sitting in storage since then and now is back on the road in a 914. 365mm width and it feels great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) of course I needed to flog the car around on the twisties today to really get the feel.

Really Nice!
How did you handle the horn button? Seems like a center cap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Also, is that a 356 shift knob on a Rennshift?
All looking very good, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Adjusting linkage a the shifter this afternoon with Kieth (914Toy) in his luxuriously comfortable shop near the coast of Laguna. Nice treat to work on a 914 on a cool polished concrete floor next to another 914..............

Well, I was in the midst of trying to reorganize around here, and ran across some more parts that were scattered about. I found some extra tail light parts, so I carved out a little time to replace the passenger side lens on the '75, and posted the other tail light parts in the classifieds.

I realize it's not much, but every inch I get to move forward IS considered progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
