Um, NO! The only thing like that is the shim that goes under the bolt heads when putting the flywheel on.

They are not for leak protection, they are to set the play of your crank shaft. If you are missing them that is a bad thing, but I bet they are there and hard to remove.

They are #9 in this pic.

Chris,
Take a magnet and put it where the arrows point. They should come out as I believe they are magnetic. Just store them and remember to put them back. Also, you will need new flywheel bolts as they are a one use only type of thing.

Looks more or less like it doesnt it.. Well, me and mark talked while working on it and I was eager to learn so we just keept taking parts off and he explained very well how and what not etc.. So it will be a "small" rebuild. no new parts just making sure the parts I have is ok to go basically.

Holy Shit Dr. Evil..

Mike, I didn't know you knew Mark..

Thats very kewl... Mark is a great guy.. purdy smart fella if ya ask me..

And opinionated like Jake. With a sense of humor like MikeZ and the care for people.. Like Slits.... (poor guy)

He has containers full of 914 and Type 4 stuff.
(and yes I have seen most of it..and the goods are for sale)

And he is a proficient Air Cooled mechanic. (plus he knows D & L jet)
He is also my favorite nut case. Kinda like me... But worse (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

By the way... if you guys need 914 parts or a good mechanic In San Diego for air cooled. Just mail him....... you can contact Mark at his e-mail address "Limerickenigma@yahoo.com"

By da way Christopher... Good job...
Like I told ya brother. Just keep the faith..

I'm blown away. Mark knows what he is talking about. So I went into this wanting a re seal for my oil leak. Today we almost finished a top end rebuilt. My valves are so shiny after some magic. Look at the difference in the parts from yesterday, today they are sooo clean.

More to come.

After Los Panchos we went straight to Marks place and worked on the engine until 8.30 pm.. It was a long day but got a bunch done. Everything is cleaned now, the tin is painted and looks very nice. I didnt get to take any pictures of the most part of it since it was dark when we stoped working. But it is getting there on the engine side too. Mark helped me weld my heater boxes so they don't rattle any longer. Man do they look good painted.

Thanks again Mark for helping me!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Jeez,
I wish I knew Mark last year when I was there and rushing to get my car together (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Los Panchos is one of those places where some times you wonder if it is worth the savings. The work is good enough, but the time frame sometimes sucks. Most of the dealings that I have heard of from guys that dealt with shops on this side of the boarder are about the same, though. It must be a budget painter thing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Mark is a stand up guy who works his a$$ of for you. But he is very careful about teaching me and letting me doing most of the work. Thats what I want and need. To be able to work on my car or at least have an understanding about it. Which in three days now is so much more than 9 months without that help..

Los Panchos does good job, look at my targa trim, or where it used to be. Now its gone, no more trim.. Looks very good.
