i was racing down the track and noticed the oil pressure light on,

after i installed a new oil pump today and started the motor, a lound knocking noise was heard. i thought that there might be caused by piston slap since i checked all the bearings and they were ok. took out the starter and looked through, saw some broken straps on the pressure plate


also noticed that the flywheel cam loose again, im thinking this happend cause the pressure plate broke, i did torque the pressrue plate bolts and flywheel bolts with loctite also,


notice how the flywheel welded itself to the crank

 

what kinda pressure plate and flywheel is this

 

its a ACT flywheel and a Bully Clutch pressure plate and disk

 

how the hell does something like that happen?

Ouch......that'll ruin your day.

 

Holy **** the same thing happened to me ,the pressure plate fell apart at the rivets , twice within a week!! What is causing this? Engine vibration?
BTW: it started doing this after i installed my ctr n1 pulley.

hey .... you might want to pull everthing down and rebuild plus rebalance everything... reinstalling new parts will yield even more problem.. just some advice..

 

oh man, that type of stuff scares me...i hope that dosent happen to my motor when i turn it for the first time

i was planning on installing my spair clutch and flywheel. i know that the crank is junl like that, i do have another ls crank to use for next year but i only have 2 days before the last event here.

</TD></TR></TABLE> its a stage 3 disk with a upgraded stage 4 pressure plate. i dont like it very much right now, since its the second time its has broken, it lasted 2 passes. other than that it gripped nice, even chirped slicks in third gear

 

jesus, **** like this makes me feel lucky i havent had any problems.

sorry to hear the ordeal is worse than originally anticipated shant.

&lt;&lt;&lt;3 yrs on exedy organic clutch w/no problems.

 

That sucks, time for a new crank. You might want to consider a Tilton, no straps to break.

damn, the very exact same thing happen to my flywheel when it fell off, i was unable to put a new crank in so i went and bought a special tap and just retapped the crank and got new flywheel bolts and just bolted that **** back togather with a **** load of lock tight, i know that i shouldn't have done that, but it ran just fine for 6 months after. even when i pulled it out to put my new motor in it was still all togather just fine. i guess i lucked out because it din't ruin my clutch at all. if theres anything wrong with the threads and you just want to retap it for a tempory soulution IM me and i will send you the tap. i had to specail order it so i figure if you want to do that it could save you like $50.
