so here is where i'm at now..............note the "workshop manual" taped to the back window a picture says a thousand words............and people wonder why i do boring threads with too many pictures, but for sure they come in mighty handy
the original reason for engine pull was the fried clutch which was also sorted
flywheel has survived the ordeal ok and resurfacing will be fine
took some measurments of the new clutch and pressure plate to compare to the old set up..........flywheel will be ground to provide maximum clamp force by adjusting pressure plate height relative to the clutch plate surface
flywheel will be removed and "ground"..........to remove hardened hot spots and uneven surface.
we estimated the standard 228mm pressure plate and clutch had done only two hours work:but that's solid HARD work! (several years of racing)........very sticky tyres, tall 1st gear, shirt loads of torque + horsepower and not enough clamp force, combined with a total lack of mechanical sympathy........results in a little bit of heat
undoubtedly the replacement will last much longer........
clamp force will be over three times as much on previous set up...........
you can see the lip near the ring gear (pressure plate seat)
is also ground to keep the height correct.
