What kind? Regular old galvanized. =-)
I've done radiator repairs with "this" epoxy on aluminum. It really works well under pressure and with the right epoxy, does well at temperatures. |

Roger,
I recommend the well tested hose and routing method used by Renegade. It easy to install and will not cause problems in the event you encounter a speed bump. If worried about your hoses making contact with a speed bump, wait until you see how low the engine mount is located when it's all buttoned up. Proper cooling of engine will be your biggest challenge once you get up and running. Renegade has the best track record and I'd follow their procedures for all parts (hoses, barbed fittings, expansion tank, thermostat, fill port etc.) Regards, John |

Did you light it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
Did you paint those valve covers? |

I didn't light it tonight.
Here's why.... I got my bypass valve installed and oil filter on. Now I can't get the tranny on. Seems the throw out bearing is keeping the tranny from sliding in all the way... Is there an adjustment either on the "ball" inside the trans, or should I bend the fork? I saw that as a solution on another V8 thread. Felix, that disgusting color on the valve covers is a Summit powder coating optional color. I love 'em! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) But i'm a sick bastard anyways.

Check the disc alignment, I don't think you can mount it upside down. Did you check the ID of the pilot bearing vs the OD of the input shaft? Sometimes the TO bearing gets ahead of the fork during install, I've struggled with that ~1" a few times. It shouldn't be the arm keeping the tranny from sliding on. Those arm mods help the arm to engage and release the clutch with a longer movement. Everything else looks good... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I don't mind the valve cover color if you had other components color match. |

Felix, The clutch plate only goes in one way. If I were to flip it the center of the clutch disk would hit the pilot bearing. So that's not it. Did you check the ID of the pilot bearing vs the OD of the input shaft? Yes. I pre-slid on the pilot bearing onto the input shaft of the tranny. No problems there. Sometimes the TO bearing gets ahead of the fork during install, I've struggled with that ~1" a few times. The tranny has about 1" of space to make contact with the engine block. I prefit the TO bearing and fork and checked the movement and it looked normal. When I pressed the tranny towards the block, I could move the clutch fork back and forth and the tranny would move back and forth from the block. So it's definately being held back from the block by the TO bearing. |

Roger,
Many have run into this problem and the cause is most often a mismatch of parts. Did you obtain the clutch/pp/tob as a package? If so, you could start a process of elimination by: 1. removing the t/o bearing from fork and check for fit. It it still won't go, your fork may be contacting pressure plate. I've seen this several times but usually happens with engine/transaxle mated closer than the 1" gap your seeing. 2. remove all washers installed behind "ball" and check for fit. IIRC, every washer installed pushes the t/o bearing forward about 1/4" inch. 3. a couple of the bolts securing flywheel to crankshaft appear to be sticking out about 1". That's either just the angle of the pic or you took it before securing all bolts? John |

John,
The pic is with the bolts not torqued down yet. =-) No clearance issues there. I didn't know about the washers behind the pivot ball. I will check that as soon as I get home. I will also check to see if removing the TO bearing makes a difference. I'm sure it will.. =-) Last night I was really trying to see exactly where the point of resistance was and I believe it was the TO bearing. Probably a simple pivot ball adjustment ... Update will be posted tonight. Thanks again John. This is a real learning experience. LOL |

Yep, tonight was a learning experience.
I learned that the tranny will not go on all the way unless the pressure plate is torqued down. Me= dumb shit... I was getting ready to perform surgery on the fork... LOL Tomorrow I pick up some fuel line, hose clamps, distributor clamp down thing, and permatex. Then it's "Fire it up" time!!!!!!! Attached thumbnail(s)

Could always put the spare tire in the rear-trunk tire-mount location. That'd be an easy way to do it, if you didn't like it up front behind the radiator. |

This is where I left off last night.
Fired the engine for the first time. It's peppy, to say the least. =-)))) Tonight I figure out how the Renegade rear mounts work. I was checking out 914GT's progress pics and I couldn't see a good side shot to know for sure how they go. I guess I could call Scott at Renegade....

This is how I installed the Renegade rear mount. Large mushroom shaped washer was notched to fit around RH piece. I'm also using 911 sport mounts here.
