hi all just wondering it seems to be leaking and the temp flew off the ricka jump from 1/2 to red in a minute. do you think its worth rplacing or fixing? Also should I remove the pasenger side back-plate for the disk brake I've heard it increases cooling for the brakes the driver side is already removed. At least now with me loosing my licence I can do these things without getting wear and tear for the next 6 months. One ither thing 666 and I are experiencing similar clutch problems and i was thinking I might by the end of the year relpace my clutch what one do you recommend for a 4 speed 1360 engine?? I thinking a rally/race one heavier the better any suggestions???


thanks everyone,

Zack

Ask Stuwey what he had in the LS. He told me it was a stock clutch plate with a beefier pressure plate. Feels nice under the foot too, not too heavy.

yeah but did his engine have a similar bore to mine? and would that change anything?

Most people remove the stone guards on the back of the discs. Helps a little with cooling I guess, and stops stones getting caught in there and grinding a groove in to you discs.
