New oil filter, truly tightened this time. All sealed up--I hope.

Checking the fit of my dual-oil pressure sensor set-up. The oil cooler duct requires the stock sensor to face forward, but the new VDO sensor sits nicely above the duct.

After a bad experience with one years ago, I don't use the flex hose either. And I use the stock idiot light sender. So what I do is to make sure the big gauge sender lays on the engine tin, and I use a big adel clamp around it that is attached to the tin. Then I put the stock sender on top.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Clay. How tall is your T-fitting?

More fitting and thinking. In this configuration, the VDO sender sits just above the tin. Actually, it just makes contact, which might provide enough support to dampen vibration.

Got to think on this a bit.

Question for the 914World experts: how critical to use stock insulation gaskets, or use the fiber gaskets that came with my ITB EFI kit?

Last thing today: mount the engine cross bar and get ready for installing the sheet metal, blower housing, and the ITBs.

I don't like those thick gaskets ,over time they compress and leak,had this with my 1.8 motor after fitting twin Weber DCNV's,found this issue when I pulled the motor as I saw the fuel sweating out on the base of the manifolds.
Engine had been running rough @ idle and hard to tune ,replaced with the factory type FI ones and never had any further issues.
With the thick gasket it would be tempting to pinch them up and risk pulling head studs,no need to worry with the OEM ones as they stay put with factory torque,I like to add a little non setting sealer and use Hylomar blue...great product,cheers.

Cover in place and torqued down.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) nice write up and detailed documentation, i am paying close attention because i also only had 2500 miles on my new build and i am pulling it due to the possible RMS seal leak again after only 9 months since doing it last spring. i am going to recheck all the head bolt torque as well, but i have a feeling my RMS is leaking for same reason your front seal was.
What sealer did you use on that lower seam on the front crank seal? i was afraid of doing any sanding or prep to the surface last time but was maybe an issue. Also
yes we are keeping track, on what seal is used, the leaking one now that i put in last spring was a 12mm VR one so i have the Ehrling for front and RMS and thats what is going in this weekend, along with also resealing that oil pump seal and now it looks like my supposed new oil cooler was also seeping out oil from a seam in the middl of the cooler too. .hoping i can get this thing fixed. at least none of my push rod tubes leak!

anyway keep posting and updating as you go thanks for the guidance!!!

I would let the sensor float. Rubbing against the tin would damage it. Also, I don't think that would really "dampen" the vibration.

Good point. I will have to see how the final assembly looks. I will probably add a bracket like I mocked-up in an earlier post.

Can't do much on the engine, since I can't put the sheet metal on until I get the oil pressure sensor sorted and installed. I did bolt on the starter motor.

On to some other tasks. I am still not sure how I will handle the speedometer/odometer, but somebody has had this apart before.

I also pulled the left door handle, since the lock sometimes resists turning the key.
