(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I live in the Albuquerque area and have enjoyed that Durango to Silverton road on occasion! Yet to take my newly completed 914 on it though. Maybe RRC...

But to the original poster, I am in Rio Rancho right next to the ABQ. If you'd like to hang out and kick tires, or go for a drive (haha after all those miles) PM me!


How cold is it going to be towards the end of the month?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ah yes, the $64,000 question. Typically late April in north-central New Mexico will be up to the mid to high 70s during the day, mid 40s to 50s at night. Could hit mid 80s, could stay below 60. Ya never know round these parts. This changes (hotter days, cooler nights) outside of the city in the high desert area, or of course up in any mountains. Rain is going to be rare and very brief if we get any. Expect it to be breezy if not outright windy in the spring.


Well, since I was at it, I thought it would be good to adjust the valves on my 911 for the trip. Three head stud ends fell out on the lower left. So, I am thinking either I have to instantly move the engine into the 914 and break it in on the way (not gonna happen) or call it off. I was soooo psyched.

Well, the big question is how hard will it be to tune the 2056 with the stock EFI. If it will just run after basic timing etc, then it is worth a shot. But if I have to take apart a MAP sensor to get it right I may not have time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

If you can check it with an 02 sensor, I would. To confirm your not going to run lean. Otherwise watch your temps. Very small adjustments might be needed depending upon how it was set previously. Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Depends on the cam used. If its a stock cam no problem, but if its non stock you must adjust the MPS to reset the AFR.

"Reputed" to be webcam version of 9550. I think I better get the air-fuel set up and the head temp gauge eh? I have a CO meter - any use? Thanks folks. It will be touch and go. I was about ready to hang my head and cry when those studs fell out.

I have an extra sensor that has had the epoxy removed and still holds vacuum. Should I find an inductance meter?

Well, it is coming down to whether I can do the engine swap this weekend and whether I trust the engine for a 3,000 mile break in. I know - change out the oil at 500 miles. Racer Chris is sending me a new diaphragm so I can mess around with a spare MPS for tuning, and I actually have read PBanders article enough to understand what is going on. The air fuel and CHT gauges arrive by Friday. But, while I have a bazillion tools I lack a lift. Also, it is going to fuching snow Friday! T.S. Eliot was right about April.

I have everything you need for the oil change, including Brad Penn. 10-40, or 20-50? The speed shop has straight 50 also.

Well I am hoping to be living on Tulsa time as soon as I can. If just for a while. (Actually I think I have to go a bit farther west not to be...)
