yes, the bushings are intended to replace the old ones. if the old ones have been in there for any length of time, you will most likely have to scrape them out with something like a screwdriver. The ...

get well soon, Bill! I'll be in the area soon and will be in touch.

that's what I thought, too. I'll have to take a gander at it sooner or later. Says he either wants to sell or fix it up for his son.

interesting. anyone know what the desirability level is for the 2000C/CS cars now adays? I don't think I've seen one of these in person before. Wiki says they were produced from '65-'69, so the year ...

A mover who came to my house today saw the tii and said he had one, too. Naturally, I was curious. He said it was a 2000 but had two doors, and it was a 1973. Was there a two door 2000? I tought t ...

I haven't done the motor mounts but the transmission mount replacement was pretty simple. take the bracket off to enlarge the hole then bolt everything back up. I noticed a big difference as mine wa ...

Moving out soon....need to start the tool collection :) Yeah, that's duct tape...everyone needs it ;)

yeah, they also look like late model/320 seats to me

I am. I love it :) see avatar. things can be lumpy at idle, but that and a hot cam seem to carry a whollop when set up properly.

I also don't think an '02 would be the best thing. If she's good at wrenching and likes that sort of thing, that maybe it could work though! If not, it could be a big headache. Also, the '02 may ha ...

i like :)

do you remember what color recaros were left? I've been itching to get some rec's in the 02 for a long time.

yes, Brandon, the idle can be described as loppy. The cam is a 300 deg, but it still came as a surprise to me as the prev. owner and the mechanic who was working on it really knew nothing about the c ...

Does she like you to wring her out everytime you get in the seat?? <<<YES! :)

As far as the diff. goes, It is stock for what was in the '73 from what I can tell.

This car seems to come alive or go "on cam" at the higher RPM range. It's much happier when the engine is working at the upper end of the band. Somewhere between 4 and 5k is a blast. Conversely, it ...

you know what they say about fighting on the internet. Even if you win....

so, with a 300 degree cam, is there a different optimal valve lash tolerance than stock? are there any other adjustment considerations?

Circled is where I found the number. This is indeed the timing gear flange, right?

Also, I'm interested in any specs/statistics on the cam if anybody has them. Can anyone comment on its rarity? ...

OK, I think I found something else. It's really faint, but looks like a 3. it's on the the chain drive flange. What do you think?

By nose you mean the very tip of the cam, the side that comes through the geat the timing chain is on, right? If so, this is what I see on it: the circle is divided up into 4 sections, the S symbol I ...

anyone want to take a stab at it?

interesting. my engine has about 70k miles and is original as far as I know. maybe I should just see how it runs at .007 and take it from there?

I've searched the FAQ but could not find any remarks that discussed markings similar to the ones I found on my cam. I removed the valve cover to adjust the valves for the first time on this car and a ...

thanks Chris and everyone else. I've set all the valves to .007 to be safe. It's between the recommended .006-.008, and I'd rather be a tad loose than tight for the reasons Chris mentioned. What I' ...

Upon adjusting my valves I found that the oil spray bar bolt was loose. I couldn't find the torque spec on it, but remember that it was very low when I replaced them on my 535. Should I just snug it ...

in addition to the markings I described above, there is a "192" on the cam and a design that looks kind of like a W or a weird V or an M or a butterfly, lol...I'll get pics up soon. anyone? ;P

you mean .007 should not fit and .005 should be loose?

OK, so I took the cover off and this is what I found:

On the end of the cam there is an S etched into the surface. There is a circle around the S and a sort of rounded triangle around the circle. ...

I have a friend who owns 2 914-6's with less than 30Kmi! They're spectacular and the engine is very musical. I had a 1.7L 914 once...it was a project that never really got off the ground. That car ...

I'm about to do a valve adjustment on the tii for the first time and am interested in people's experiences with setting them. I've read that spec. should be somewhere between .006 and .008. the FAQ ...
