First step was to get it home and into the garage. It had a set of heat exchangers on it that Aaron needed back. I couldn't use them in the 914 anyway and he had given me a deal on the motor. So first step was to pull those and run them back down to his shop.



HE's off and the teardown commences.

You'll notice the yoke is on the wrong side. This is a cheaper yoke and it wouldn't bolt down all the way with the oil cooler in place. I will be swapping it to the other side once it gets closer to the case split.



Aaron actually gave me two sets of Zeniths since one set has some melted venturis. I can mix and match to get the best set I can and then bring him back the spare parts.

Ports look like they've been port-matched to the gaskets/intakes. Awesome.

Popped off the chain covers. Chains and chain wheels are looking good. Actually very little wear. A more in-depth examination to follow once everything is all cleaned up. I'll be doing new chains and guides of course, if the rest of it checks out I may just rebuild and reuse.



Non oil fed tensioners. After talking with Kris (who built his engine with close guidance from Aaron) I've decided not to do oil fed. Instead these will get a rebuild with close examination, and of course I will be adding the safety collars.
