[Trak Ratt]

Just completed a Carrera chain tensioner upgrade on a friends 914-6's new engine. One of the things I notice which might make this an easier and less stressful undertaking would be to simply place the engine at top dead center before beginning. This would take all the pressure off the valves, which in turn would ensure the maximum amount of slack in the chains, making the installation of the new tensioners much easier. It would also eliminate having any bystanders/ owners from panicking when they see the cam gear turn! 101 Projects also recommends doing this, but it also says you have to take out the distributer, which is not necessary when the engine is on an engine stand.

The new motor is a 2.2L E engine with webers. Should be a nice upgrade to another wise stock 2L 914-6.
