I have a similar scar,same finger,missed the tendons. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
A F-18 radome chassis,billet,5x-cnc,'80s,razorsharp.
I was so pissed I had sliced myself so badly.
Just one of those shop accidents that should have been avoided.
Reminded me to wear the proper safety protection,diligently.

One thing to consider is the amount of twist imparted to the cylinder studs when torquing.
'Clocking'the studs to maintain an untwisted condition at final stretch.

Betty was trying to convince me to paint the valve covers red. I like them in the natural aluminum.

Should I start a poll paint/no paint?

Big no on the red paint. Keep it as much factory looking as possible. Very nice.

Clear them

Paint or Powdercoat the engine tin, unless you want them to return to their natural state.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) all the fancy stuff just gets swallowed up in a 914 engine bay anyway.

The engine tin is still a work in progress. I have to mod the 914-6 tin to fit the 964 motor. You can see the left rear setup I did.

Attached Image

Once I am ready to complete it, it will be bead blasted then powdercoated along with the rest of the tin.

I have to mod the power steering belt housing before I can make the tin for the right rear.

I have to add the holes for the lower spark plug wires in the side tins, and I still have to figure out how to send air to the heat exchangers. It will probably involve holes in the side tin for air feeds from the fan.

Is the end of the cam visible in front of the oil cooler ?
Shouldn't there be a cap there ?

Paint the valve covers black and sand off the ribs. It's your car though, do whatever gives you a thrill.

964/993 motors don't have engine mounted oil coolers

The motor originally had a power steering pump drive there. I intend to fabricate an AC compressor mount for the same location.

They are not cast valve covers. They are billet aluminum, and the ribs are machined into them.

New picts of progress


Clewett 964 Serpentine belt kit

Rebuilt distributor installed.

Custom Throttle linkage.

Attached Image

The throttle linkage uses a stock 914-6 cable and a bell crank assembly from a 964 Turbo. Custom uplink to the throttle body. Hooked it to the cable in the car to test the geometry and the pedal pressure.

Betty accused me of making vroom vroom noises. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I believe Betty. I know I'd be making vroom vroom noises too.

Love that Clewett setup. Should make changing the belt a lot easier. I don't remember, did you already have a cut out in the firewall to facilitate belt changes?

Nope.. I don't believe in cutting holes in something called a "Firewall".

I had a serpentine belt setup on my old engine, until the AC compressor mount cracked the chain housing. They make changing the belt much easier.

Get that thing on the road Clay...even better, to a track! Way to stay after it - make all the vroom, vroom sounds you want, ya earned it!

PS: That thing looks heavy...better put some big springs in the rear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I am at work this morning, so I don't have pictures to post.

Took the front 914-6 engine tin and the 911 engine tin and cut them up to make one set that fits the front of the motor. I figured out that I can use the 911 fan and blower stuff to push air into my heat exchangers. Flipped the engine upside down, and temporarily installed the headers. I am going to get some poster board to cutup to make heater box templates. I am going to make the bottom of them bolt on so I can open them up to inspect the internal tubes.


Pictures soon...

Good ideas! Sounds like this is going to be awesome and terrifying.

I'm sure Betty can handle it. (And never, EVER, let me drive it! But you already knew that.)
