Just saw your oil leak video. Thinking a cam seal or rocker shaft on the one side then the other looks like the case thru bolt. That is an ugly proposition.. hope that's not the case.. I know mine has few leaks..

So I think I found the culprit (fingers crossed) on the 4/5/6 side. A new gasket with locktite 574 and a recheck of the cam timing will hopefully seal that up.

Also, I wasn't thrilled about the run out on the rear rotors. I had them turned and they went out of spec so new Sebro's it is.

Why did you use a coarse wood screw to pull the cam pin? You probably messed up the threads in it.

Just take the cap off a spark plug and use that. It is the exact same threads.

Only you would spot that Clay Hahahaha. I did have one and I mistakenly threw it out while cleaning. I had another spark plug, but the cap was glued or pressed on. I gently threaded it in only so far. It came out with no force all threads still in tact.

I'm slowly working on the 2.7 to address oil leaks. I decided to do the right thing and buy a different engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This one needs two exhaust studs fixes and I'll perform a health check. Then it's onto some RHD ITBs from X-faktory.

Haven't updated this thread for awhile

Updates:

In talks of picking up some Zenith Carbs to simplify testing the 2.7 for leaks I ended up trading down? er sideways? I don't which way, but at least towards a drivable 914 again. So the ITB twin plug 2.7 is turning into a 73 2.4 carb'd engine. Leak down numbers were almost perfect. With it I needed to move away from FI setup.

So here is the new Fuel Pump almost fully installed.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-18763-1650483465.1.jpg)

Also got my GT lid finished, not perfect, but looks presentable.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-18763-1650483466.2.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-18763-1650483466.3.jpg)

New front bumper mounting as well. I didn't realize how much fiberglass sucks. I thought when I ripped off the weird shelf screwed to the front for the other fiberglass bumper it was because they didn't know what they were doing. Now, I see it was there to prevent the dip down in the center. Once I get something back in place it should look right. Also, mounted some fresh horns - but wiring is now preventing them from workie.

Nice progress. What is the black big canister before the fuel pump? a Pre-filter?

You seem to be collecting more engines than me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I love the short stroke engines, The 2.4, if I can pull it off will be the engine I run. Very cool build

2.4 (standard) is not a short stroke. The 2.0 and 2.2 are short stroke. Bigger cylinders
can be run on the 2.2 to get a short-stroke 2.5. Also, what I run is AA 86mm for a 2.3L
size.

Here is the 2.4 that will ship to me tomorrow.

Phil - I traded the one I started this thread with. Also sold the 1.8, that gets picked up Sunday. That black cyl is a 100 micron fuel filter. I picked it up as a reusable filter and the cb performance pump came with a mini pre filter so I decided to keep it. This should ensure the zeniths stay clear.

I got the new fuel system plumbed and ready. Ran a fused wire off number 8 fuse, ya know, for extra fuseage. Got rid of that horrid AC box. Which leaves me with a gapping hole that will receive a sheet of aluminum (temporarily). Also got my horns working so that's a good thing. Engine could be here tomorrow.

Engine is in!

First start video. Running good. Just need to hook all the cables back up, reattach shift rod, adjust clutch and throttle, reattach and torque axles, little tidying up and she should be good for her maiden voyage. Got to this point last year prior to Okteenerfest only to be stunted by some major oil leaks.

2.4 first start

Looks great Nick,

Let me know if you want me to patch up/replace that front trunk pan this summer or when driving season is over. RD makes a nice replacement piece.
