The problem:


The solution:


Ok now for those that can read, this is like the fourth clutch I’ve been through in like a year. I knew better but it was just the stock one to hold me a few months while I got my turbo **** together, I have a nice Kevlar one waiting to go in, but didn’t feel like having the flywheel machined at the time I dropped the engine in . it was a good thing cuz I finally mocked up my turbo. And that will be on the road soon if I ever get my radiator in, only been waiting for a month now. Oh, and no I’m not going to put that thing back in my engine!

ok

 

ew haha


im retarded I didnt see that he rewelded it

I thought he was mad that it broke so he was gonna torch it or somthing

 

Hope it holds...

I would've made 4 plates, one for each spring to reinforce that very common problem area.

Would've been nice to fix them all to hope that it lasts until you get your new clutch.

it's funny how people don't read the whole post.

I say run it and take bets on H-T as to how long it lasts!!

Yes! Im down to put mola on it, see how long it holds. Neone?

 

[/QUOTE] that picture is says it all.lol

 

Just for all the people that might actually try that...is its going to through off the balance of the clutch, and put extra stress on the crank and bearings.

Personally i wouldnt do that. Id try a different clutch.

But none the less, badass you are.

yeah i knew noone would read the post, just look at the pics

here is the new one:

 

good job on the homemade clutch repair. What kind of kevalar clutch is that?

i don't think a little tack weld is gonna do much considering that 99% of honda guys don't even balance the whole crank+flywheel+clutch as one.

 

that's tiiiiiiigghttttt...hahahaha

what kind of clutch is that?

Damn straight! Give us pictures or give us death!

Actually, is there any way you can go back and edit out all of your typing and just re-tell the entire story with a sequence of pictures? That would be super.

Maybe not..but im **** about that sorta stuff. And i balanced my motor a piece at a time, start with the crank, add the flywheel, add the clutch, etc etc.

^^Yeah, nobody does it that way for a reason.

a balanced part + a balanced part = a balanced assembly. There's no reason to balance it all together.

All you have to do is balance the piston/rod assemblies and the crank. When you add on the flywheel and clutch (assuming both are aftermarket) it will stay balanced because aftermarket stuff comes balanced.

You hope at least. I had each part balanced one at a time just incase...like my JUN flywheel wasnt perfect, close, but not perfect.

Well, it usually doesn't work out to be PERFECT perfect, but it's close enough.

I just bought new rod bolts and they've caused a .2 gram off balance because they don't weigh exactly as much as the old bolts did. But such a small difference won't matter (although it does bug me).
