b18a1 flywheel cutting into oilpan
I have a b18a1(90-91)swap with maunal cable tranny. i bought the car a few months back and the clutch was going out slipping and just had to come all the way off pedal for it to catch but no flywheel scrapping. Ordered new clutch it had a 4 puck i got 6 puck stage 2. Ordered new flywheel it had light weight and i order a oem. Had a "mechanic" buddy of mine do it and seemed to do a good job but now its leaking what seems to be tranny fluid and the flywheel is cutting into oil pan pretty good. Will start but takes a few turns and sounds like flywheel and starter out of wack. Idk im no good with a tansmission. Could i have wrong flywheel? Loose flywheel? Bad tranny? Any clues? Any ideas? Ever happen to anyone else? I just want to drive the dam thing lol im stumped thanks in advance
Punctuation is important, that was very difficult to read.
If the flywheel is hitting the oil pan then it is likely the wrong one, or it was not bolted down properly.

I recently did my own clutch, first one I've done myself all the way through. First of all, I bought an OEM exedy clutch and cover plate. Second of all, the cover plate can only go on ONE way properly! The studs are offset so u "can't" (hopefully) fk it up. If u bought a cheap "xtd" ebay clutch, stage 2 or not, you will regret it. They are junk. Same with your flywheel, only buy oem, or well known name brands, or just get the original Re surfaced. When u put the pressure plate on, it MUST be done just right! The splines should all line up straight if it was done right. I took my sweet time and now I can scratch 3rd gear with all oem parts. No cams, no fuel rail. Just a tuned computer, home made forced air intake, and some cheap over size exhaust, with an oem muffler!
If you're not tuned, running turbo, or racing, there's no need for anything other than the oem organic clutch! Exedy is the oem company for honda/acura!
