Building a 7 bolt... What clutch?

Pimpin Dsmstyle · 08-29-2005

How about the crank that is probably scoared? I can't remember, but I've seen it and I think it needed to be fixed or replaced.

I dont have the conversation anymore, but again I'm sure you were taking that out of context.

Crank is perfect... One of the rods was scored but I have a different one already. I have the conversation if you want it Josh~

What clutch was Barton running with his 7 bolt? I can't remember, did his motor actually crankwalk or spin a bearing?

It spun a rod bearing but the crank is perfect? What scored the rod bearing then? Why wouldn't you just replace the rod bearing, unless the bearing welded itself to the crank and actually spun inside the rod. In that case, the crank would definately not be perfect. Has the crank been ground undersized possibly?

I would stick with the DXD and see if it will hold the power. Also install a clutch bypass switch so you don't have to have the clutch in on startup.

Im pretty sure post #12 and #13 werent me (josh). I dont know exactly what that shit is about?

The crank is not perfect? The rod bearing spun and was thin as hell along with a burnt eagle rod after the accident, but did not melt to the crank. I should know because it was my engine and I did this. I basically just went 100% wot when oil was not normal temp and this is what caused the failure. Stupidity. The crank was polished and re-done, but when he builds it he still needs to install rod bearings and check clearances to see if in spec. Needs to be balanced as well. Then what the heck, give it a try!
