Started the assembly







Why does the crankshaft have a bluing Color and looked like it got hot?

Assembly lube the red, and yes it looks like it got hot at some point.. but the balancing is ok! No issues. And now the whole thing is balanced with flywheel and all.

Looking good lots of shiny new parts ,looks like a great build ,I did a small bore build for a customer late last year and really enjoyed it,1.8 L based on 411 carb case and NOS euro pistons and cylinders with 36 DLRA's so pleased with how it ran.Attached Image


Anyway I digress ,just getting over Covid 2.5 weeks later and feeling heaps better but still weak ,pretty shit thing to have really !! had stopped other projects to recover but today pulled the cover of the 914 and had to get it running as sitting for too long.
Topped up a bit with fresh fuel,checked fuel lines and primed to 3.2 psi and bingo the baby six fired up after 3 throttle pumps,always amazes me how well these motors start.
Ran till oil temp up enough then shutdown as I can't drive it due to REAL bad rear wheel bearing.
I have again proved the starting power of my AGM small battery,not a charger near it in 12 months and only 4 starts from the 2.2.

Yesterday, I moved HOWARD to the front yard with the Parkit motorized dolly so I could get the 912 out of the back yard (also using the dolly). Great tool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Attached Image


Next on the to-do list, I need to get AAA over here to transport the 912 down to the restoration shop.

Then, in the afternoon, a couple friends on their way to AZ stopped by and helped push HOWARD back up onto the mid-rise lift. HOWARD will have to stay there until I can find a body shop equipped with the requisites to straighten out the driver side's trailing arm mounts. Been hitting a brick wall finding anybody to perform that task (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Attached Image


While my friends were here, good fortune struck again ... we loaded up my Smithy lathe/end-mill/drill press and my soda-blast cabinet onto a box truck heading back to AZ, since there's no way they'd fit in the back of my truck. They'll unload those nifty tools in my workshop there. Freed up a lot of room in the CA garage as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, all minor progress, but forward progress nonetheless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Drove the car for the first time for pleasure after electrical melt down last summer. Alternator started electrical issues which lead to new engine harness, alternator, starter, CDI box. Work was done by Rolf at Don’s Autowerks and they did a fantastic job. After the drive, I replaced the ripping drivers seat bottom. Happy with the results.

After…..

Good guys to have on your side Oscar! Are your fenders pulled at all? One picture almost looks like you've got Tangerine flares welded in.

It was many days effort, but today was the first time a replacement panel went on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Got my muffler back from Bursch and installed it. She is off Jack stands and running again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
On a side note Bursch offers a life time warranty on there mufflers.

Well...this was last Saturday: lead for the vintage group at our local region's latest "fun run."

Attached Image

That's Richard Hanes ( @gatornapper ) is in his 931 three cars back.

A great day, with nice sunny weather and about 130 trouble-free miles...

...until it came time to put the car away, then "G" light on bright and steady, and no charging. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Spent the last couple of days rounding up the usual suspects (between honey-do's). Hope to have the newly cleaned and tested relay plate and VR back in the car this weekend.

Did I mention the "honey-do's"?
