Please cover your ports
Besides that it looks good !

Speed Buggy 06-25-2014 05:56 PM

Yep, good call. Thanks.

I might also suggest keeping the cam chains somewhat taught against the intermediate shaft gears. I've had a chain slip off before and it was a pain to get it back on.

Congrats, I bet you can't wait to fire it up.

Your looking Great! You should be up and running in a week or so!
What engine is it and how is it spec. out ?

Where are the oil return tubes???

I've never worked with the engine on my belly like this. Does it make it any easier?

Hope I'm not too far behind you. Looks great!

Heinz911 - She was torquing to take the solder measurement, not final assembly.
Afterburn549 - Motor is a stock 3.0L. I had a chain tensioner fail and shaved some aluminum off of the chain box internal oil (?) shelf while breaking a number of idler sprocket teeth. I sent the cooler to pacific oil cooler. New engine harness from Timmy2 on this board. That's it.
Tharbert...does your pic come out sideways on you screen? Haha
I am excited to get back on the road. Will do on the chain tension. Thank you all.

My son did head torques on our offroader @ age 13 and my wife and I did motor/gearbox changes on her 57 oval bug before the kids came along,very cool,great to see,thanks for sharing.
Just about to get into my 2.2t and the pics help , doing a good check over in prep for going into my 914,not as far as you have gone but a tidy of of known bad spots,the triangle,chain ramps,rear seal,intermediate shaft cover and all the "while you are in there stuff",cheers.

I love when the stars align and I actually get help. Tara replaced one side of the ball joints on our '86 Jag while I did the other side. She's a gear head. Pretty cool! Good luck with the refresh. Cheers, Mike.
