How much metal is too much?


Recommended Posts

I pulled the clutch cover today to replace the waterpump seals just to cover my bases. The billet waterpump gear is chewed up. This accounts for the excess metal in the oil. The teeth on the inside have damage to them. The damage only extends 1/16" of an inch into the gear.  Whats the fix? Go back to the stock plastic?

WOW......better figure out what's going on because the plastic gear sure isn't going to hold up better than the billet.

What primary ratio you running? pics of assembled cover/wp assembly. ive found it is usually assembler error.

What is the primary ratio? I'm running all stock gears in the engine. I've changed the clutch housing, water pump gear and drive to billet.

So, do you mean the face of the waterpump gear got against the crank primary gear? Did you forget the washer that goes between the snap ring and the waterpump gear? Or any chance your crank is separating or crank bearing going bad?

 

It must be. No I didn't forget the washer. According to the oem fiche I should have it all assembled right. The crank bearings are new.
