Engine out for the first time

[streetboy]

My clutch is the same but can't really coment as it was like new, as was the realease bearing. You can buy the same pressure plate in a clutch kit. Watch out for the release bearing

Yer not sure if the clutch is correct or not. Looks alot different to my old one? Anyone?

Yes you have the right clutch for sure.

the old one is the old design, which is a load of old crap, i've had to change a few of these, beacuse the springs can slip off of the forks and you cant get any gears. The new style is 100% better and you'll never have this problem.

As long as the holes to mount it on to the engine are the same, which they look to be, and your clutch friction plate is the same diameter, you will be able to fit this no problem.

Get going and fit it!! did you get the life saving plastic "clutch alignment tool"?

Yer I got the tool, can't imagine doing the job without it really. I'm up in whitby now for a few days but will get it done on Sunday when I'm back. How hard is it to fits new flywheel seal? As I've got a new one but not sure if I'm gonna do it or not?

never done a flywheel seal, everytime i have done an aircooled clutch i've never needed to, if its not leaking and there is not any other reason why you think you need to change it, i wouldnt bother. If you find you doo need to do it in the future, you now know how easy it is to take the engine out, so it wont be a problem. if it aint broke etc etc and all that!

but dont worry you have the right clutch and pressure plate, so should be plain sailing when your back.

Cool sounds good, when I removed the engine there was oil in the gearbox side of the housing but couldn't tell where it was coming from?

 

[Austin]

shizzle. how much oil? i've seen some with a tiny bit of oil in, i wiped it out, put it back together again, ran it for about 500 miles, it was still bothering me, so i took the engine back out, and there was nothing in there, so put it back in.

cant really help too much with the seal bud, fingers crossed you dont need to change it.

There wasn't alot really but there was some. Wasn't really sure how it could have got there other than the seal is shot? Gonna give it a go sunday see how it goes. Cheers for your help
