Anybody ever drill a small oiling hole through the saddle and bearing on the thrust to keep wear down on a heavy clutch equipped combo? Thinking of doing this, as I’ve read about thrust problems with early hemi/ clutch combos. This particular engine has (more) modern 340 main bearings.
All thoughts and opinions appreciated.
Why are you running a "heavy" clutch? I can't think of any reason to run something like that. Just curious.
Im not actually. I am running a high rpm launch program though, so i would imagine this would make the thrust happier. Just extrapolating off of the things I have read about heavy (meaning release pressure) clutches.
Mine will have a MCLEOD or RAM slipper.
Ok. A sintered iron set up is not what I'd call a heavy clutch. I have never drilled one, but there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, I probably should do it but since I've never had an issue (yet...knock on wood...probably screwed myself by saying that) I have never done it.
I can say it's a very good idea.
