Best mods while engine out?

Do you mean replace the oil cooler? or clean it?

 

personally i`d forget the extra cooling and deep sump and just make good what you have wether it be an alternator upgrade or a valve decoke and re-lap , a good clean and just make sure everything is in good order

 

I measured the clutch plate tonite, 8mm spanner. What do you think?

 

That does sound a little thin. The minimum recommended is 0.36 in or 9.4mm so anything under a 10mm spanner and you should change it

 

what you need to look at is the rivets that hold the friction material to the disc... if there is 1mm, or less, between the surface and the head of the rivet, replace the clutch

also a good indicator is if it's smooth, and the "pucks" have worn away.. (see image below)




other mods are bigger engine/turbo/NOS/all of them

 

Just ordered new clutch, i think i've replaced everything now.

I,m kind of likeing the lawnmower speeds at the moment, makes a change from my normal raceing around everywhere

 

Yeah i got to seconds that, i like going slow in it. Feels good for some reason. Would just like a rev counter now so i can see what the noises mean lol. I can only judge it by how much air comes out the dash vents, not so accurate.....

 

You gota like slow or you wouldn't buy a bay ;D

 

the copper thing for starter moter

 

the best thing i did was make good all the engine take ur time and spray/clean it all out makes such a huge difference
