Re: Pulling engine
Fyi, even though still aggravated having to deal w bad ring in a cyl on an engine a professional builder built 2000 miles ago, I’m glad I pulled the engine now. As I noticed centrifugal grease streaks on clutch plate. It was about a 1/4” away from clutch pads so wasn’t effecting anything yet but a couple hundred more miles & I’d have lost the clutch & Probly messed up FW & PP too. Closer inspection showed the sealed Thrust Bearing went bad & was letting grease streak out on the spline & clutch plate. I have purple Tranny gear oil in trans & this was color of green mint jelly & could see it coming out of thrust / Throwout bearing. Originally bought at Macs Auto Parts on line 5+ yrs ago. I’ll b calling VanPelt’s Sales to replace w one that’ll last.
