Please (please) post a video of it running (please). My Triumph 955i Daytona has the factory carbon high pipe and factory race tune, which sounds great. But in terms of class, it doesn't come close to your old Duc. |

Coating looks good. Did you disassemble the two halves of the shroud or have it coated as one piece?

Fan shroud was completely disassembled, cleaned and blasted, then reassembled for powder coat. It was coated all as a single piece with sacrificial hardware (screws) holding it together. It'll get disassembled again, all threaded holes will be chased with a tap, and then stainless allen heads will be used for final assembly. The stainless hardware is not stock, but this aint no concourse build...

Yes she is and thank you for the pics! I have been on Ducs for +20 years but never on a bevel. Building and riding custom bikes keeps me unfortunately from finishing my teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And now back on track with your awesome build! |

QUOTE(sdoolin @ Aug 15 2016, 09:31 PM) Powder coating finally done. I think it all turned out pretty nicely. Still gonna be awhile till it runs.

Don't believe so. I just did a complete mock-install with it all today, and all is accounted for. The rear plate is not in the picture but I have it. Now if I could just find all of the rubber bits I need (Alt cooling elbow and a half dozen grommets for wiring harness(es)... |

Lots of work completed today. Fan shroud assembled, all engine tins test fit. I am really happy with the powder coat on the tins. Using anti-seize on everything. I think I spent more then an hour on the oil dipstick tube, recall these cases are from a bus I used to own so the oil dipstick needed to be relocated.
 Peened the case and the tube in the neighborhood of where they come together...  Slotted the tube and safety wired it to limit movement (I love safety wire). Then (next post), used some JB weld to give it some glue. |

And here's the final solution. Kind of crude side of the shop but I have had these cases since my college days (a very long time ago) so keeping them going in this 914 is just cool. Plus, no one can see this crude solution unless they follow this thread. No concourse here..

One more before I go finish a bottle of Old Forrester.
 I won't get much more done this month because dag gone it I have tickets to the Italian F1 GP at Monza in a week and a half. That will take some time for sure. Right now I hope this thing runs either late (late) fall, or maybe not till next spring. No reason to rush... |

Cooling flaps going back in. It doesn't seem to me like the flap on the left (cyls 1 & 2) opens far enough? At full open (travel limited by other flap bottoming on oil cooler vent/tin), it still seems kinda closed to me...
Pic below is full open (thanks 914world for rotating my pics)...  |

Engine stand is filthy - yes. Good eyes. It bugs me continuously. I very nearly had it powder coated before I began this build, but the build was ready before I pulled the trigger.
It will get powder coated before my next build (the engine that came out of the car (dropped #3 exhaust valve) will get built to a ~2.3L). Then when that build is complete this engine will become permanent barn art with a special stand and a glass top (for Bourbon drinks). |

Engine tins all installed -just as a mock-up. It'll all come back off for some tweaking on the fitment. Fan along with alternator brackets and alternator back cover plate come back from powder coat today but may not get installed until I get back from - wait for it - the Formula 1 GP at Monza next week.
Muffler is out for ceramic coating, I still need a dizzy (someone pls sell me one), and I still need to rebuild the carbs. Then, maybe it will run.  |

Alternator installed, more tin work fitment, removal, tweaking, re-fitment. Thermostat bracket and alternator cover plate powder coated. Thermostat not hooked up (yet).
Driver side detail pic...  Does anyone make stainless valve cover bales for these engines? Seriously I'd buy 2 pair. |

Finally back from my Italian vacation. Took in the F1 race at Monza and decided that F1 drivers are sissies and Porsche Super Cup drivers are real men. I wish they televised the Super Cup races on this side of the pond.
Anyway, more work on engine tin fitment. I have installed and un-installed the tins maybe a dozen times. Tweaking it each time for details that I have always hated. Removed some metal on the tins around the Thermo cable so no rubbing. Removed some metal around intake manifolds to ease gasket & manifold placement. Also work on mocking up the heat exchangers and various heating system bits. The OE rust on the heater tubes was replaced with powder coat in the color "Porsche Silver". What appears what/grey in the pics actually has a leeeetle metal flake in it, and my powder coat guy clear coated them. Will have to sand away some of the PC for perfect fitment, but I am OK with that. Going with all stainless hardware on this side of the engine as well.   New thermostat & cable from Awesome Powder Coating. Does anyone know what gasket material was used as OE on the surfaces where the fan housing meets the heat exchanger tube(s)? The two more or less "S" shaped tubes that take forced air from the fan and directs it down the HE? Appeared to me that there was some 40+ year old cork there when I took things apart. Would like to replace it. |
