This isn't a sign of walking is it? When i was at the track on Saturday, When i became full staged I would go 100% throttle and Antilag would kick in. Even with the clutch pedal to the wood, I could feel the car wanting to creap forward ever so slightly. -or- is that just a sign that the clutch needs a little adjustment?

Thanks Josh.

That's what i was thinking and hoping. I'll have to get a buddy over and press on the clutch while he watches the throw in the slave cyl rod to see if it is maxed out or if there is room to go further. I didn't experience this a week ago when i was at the track. I just noticed it Saturday.

Thanks

Just try adjusting the nut, you can do it yourself and it only takes a few seconds.

I heard bartons car was walked to .030. The bearing that went was probably for the crank on the tranny side.

So what's wrong with the factory installed thrust bearing on the 7-bolt motors? Is it a lack of oil to the bearing or is the surface area of the bearing too small? And why in the hell is this some huge mystery?

Yeah- good question. I'd like to know too. Crankwalk has been around for how many years. With all the machining processes available you'd think somebody could come up with a fix or some sort of an aftermarket part. Is it the bearing, the crank or the block casting itself?

It is a combination of a lot of things, hence why there is still no real fix. Also with the availability of 6 bolt blocks, most people would rather just swap them in instead of spend more time and money on fixing a 7 bolt.

That was one of the mistakes I saw. He's using copper spray on regular composite gaskets without letting it dry a bit. You don't need copper spray on those gaskets anyways.

^^^ Good tidbit to know, I've never thought about that.

Also, WTF does he spray on the waterpump and front case gaskets? It almost looks like copper spray, but I assume/hope it is just a gasket tack or something. I guess I've had good luck just using the gaskets without goop of any sort.

That would depend mostly on setting the thrust bearing alignment, which I don't remember seeing him do. The rest looked alright enough to last for a while.

I noticed alot of the same mistakes Josh mentioned, But I agree you've spent to mutch time around Raptor. I think that motor is in for a nice long walk.
