Re: Building a 7 bolt... What clutch?

Alright, so not EVERY 7 bolt making power has walked. But it seems pretty unavoidable. JOSH WAS EXAGERATING, aka wrong.

You dont NEED a twin disk, sure a regular clutch will work.. till it walks

For the cost of what you are paying, it is worth trying. However, IMO ( no engine builder here, just read alot) if you dont make sure that girdly is PERFECT, if you use a heavy clutch, and you dont torque plate with machine work, I THINK it will walk in just a matter of time. Personally I think it will walk either way with you building it in your garage / shop thing.

You picked and chose my words and neglected to say I didnt know this wasnt actually being built for a race car. You mentioned it was for fun, that is great. It will be fun. Then it might walk and leave you stranded at the track yet again.

This point IS NOT PROVABLE. Many have tried, no one has succeeded. There is no real fix for it, and no one can stop it from happening. You used shane as an example? That motor has relatively low miles as far as I know. Bartons motor walked possibly because of the power he made. What about Chris? That motor didnt last long and every precaution ( besides the clutch ) was taken. ( the old one, the new one seems to be working out)

- Once again, I am no engine builder, and I have not seen this first hand. I have read alot and heard alot. I just dont see the point in throwing money into a 7 bolt when you dont have to.
