Piston stop and a gentle hand with a extended ratchet to keep the stress off the con rod…
Doug sell em… So do all the other shops…
Thanks, Mike. Piston stop and new clutch are enroute. I guess jamming a flat head screwdriver into the side of the motor wasnt the best option for keeping it from turning over. :idn:
Kirk,
That’s what we’re here for. Let the vets help you learn from OUR mistakes and point you in the right direction. Sam Walls helped me A LOT when I got in 4 years ago and all he asked was to pay it forward when newbies are at the track.
To everyone: don’t be afraid to ask questions! The less mistakes you make the more time you have to practice, race and race fast.
Is the nut holding the clutch a reverse thread or just lock-tited on?
Yeah, ummmmm…turns out the nut holding the clutch IS reverse thread. I paid the price with a stripped nut. Luckily it didn’t strip the threads on the end of the crank. My raceday was ruined anyway, turns out I needed a clutch puller, too. OK, back to the catalog.
