V1 Dragon Motorsports 2.0 [Extended\Open-Frame\Easy Entry Door Bars] - [2007 LSJ SS Donor] - [Frame #392]

May I confirm these two components are not reused?

3rd picture here shows the parts I removed for the evap solenoid. The boost bypass solenoid is kept.

 

[Jareth]

Does this clutch look like it needs replacing? Having neve seen one up close it doesn’t seem worn out?

.

 

[Ross]

How much clutch material is left above the rivets?
That middle picture has something going on the right side... maybe dust? Maybe a low spot on the surface? It sure has seen a lot of heat.
My clutch inspection here.
TC / SC clutch upgrades here.

Clutches are a constant source of aggravation!, you generally can't tell visually if a clutch disc's materiel has been over heated and could be crystalized? Pressure plate and flywheel faces that show "bluing" from being overheated are usually a clue. Overheating can heat up and ruin the Marcel spring in the disc or the diaphragm spring in the pressure plate and cause weakened clamping pressure and or warping the pressure plate.****** But what it really comes down to is that the cost of these components is ~1/3 or less of the total repair bill! Meaning IF after reassembly, IF any of these pieces proves unsatisfactory the labor is doubled and the component $$ savings is lost! The shop is doing the total clutch job again and with new parts $$ this time! IF the labor is all yours, go for it!, but I'd probably still, at least!, use a new T/O bearing!

Thanks, I already purchased all new from ZZP so I might as well just replace it all.

Certainly the safest bet!

Funny, your assuming I know what I”m doing.

Bob, we didn't get to be this old by accident! It has been copious attention to about a zillion "seemingly bothersome details" on top of some damned amazing luck!**** I'm 61, My second day of life, a Monday, the Doctor wondered if I'd live to see Friday. So far so good!

 

[Jareth]

Not 100% clear on what this means, regarding 2nd pass?

First Pass 39 lb ft, Second Pass 25°

.

 

[Mahkoi]

Torque them all to 39ftlb. Then go back and give them all an additional 25 degree turn.

 

[Jareth]

Thanks, never heard of that before.

TTY fasteners. Torque to Yield. That means you can only use them once . That extra 25 degrees actually is supposed to stretch the bolt.

And insure you get to buy bolts again and again and again!

 

[Jareth]

Anyone want to guess which bolts?

Flywheel bolts.


.

 

[Gtstorey]

Torque to angle doesn’t necessarily mean torque to yield. The torque to angle is just a more consistent way to set final clamping force.

 

[Jareth]

Flywheel bolts.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

[Jareth]

Who will be first to guess who‘s foot steps I will be following in?

Someone has hacked Jareth's account! That last post was not ended by empty lines and then a period!
