new problem!!

[ZANDOR]

Ok Now that you have loosend the cb witch is not good that screw should be tight sounds like you need to shim the cb..
And from what I am getting here is that you need to tighen the flywheel down :shrug: You no your making my brain hurt lol

 

[Buggyracer28]

That screw is supposed to be tight lol. Its what is keeping everything on on your clutch assy. If that screw came off, 1. you would loose the screw, 2 all that poop that was on there would fall off and probably make all hell break loose lol.

 

[pissant]

iam so confused too, becuz i dont know what i did, the screw is tight, i just retighten it and the piston still moves up and down, lol

 

[ZANDOR]

Take your clutch bell off and retighten the flywheel nut.

OH ya when you retighten the screw that holds your cb on Does your cb spin freeley???

 

[pissant]

damn i am so stupid, well yes the cb spin freely, but the problem is again that when the piston hits dead top i can't even move it unless i use plyers, then the compression is fine until i hit dead top again, is this normally becuz its not broken in??

 

[Buggyracer28]

Take your cooling head off, then clean off the stuff on top of the piston. then (dont look into the engine) and bump the flywheel with the cooling head off. It might just be flooded. Then tell us what happens.

Yea thats normal in a new engine.

 

[mikeburgin]

are you running a run in fuel with higher levels of oil in it, should be for the first few tanks, to inpregnate the metals with oil and to assist in those first few tanks and the pinching that you get

Pissant, heh considering that I got a new V-spec as well, I've been following alot of your threads - some useful info as always guys.

I got the screw holding the clutch assy on pretty tight. Don't forget to use threadlock on it as well! The clutch bell rotates freely (non-binding movement -*check*) and the flywheel rotates the piston till it catches the sleeve.

Pissant- are you trying the hot or cold break in method? I think heating the mill to about 180degF - 200degF might help in breaking it easier, much better on its life too.

 

[mikeburgin]

dsodmike NEVER USE LOCTITE ON YOUR CLUTCH BELL THEAD, if by chance you can't get it un done or the thread snaps, how ar you planning on getting it out ???????? if it breaks youll have to buy a new crank, i never use lock tite on it and have never had it come off, or loose

 

[pissant]

OMG i can't get the screw off that is hlding the whole thing together, I LOCKTITE IT TOO!! becuz my flywheel is loose and this was my problem the whole time!! am i screwed or can i get this screw out

 

[AC48]

Thats why you don't locktite that screw. You can try heating it up to loosen the locktite.

 

[pissant]

well i didnt know, the problem is when i try to unscrew it the shaft thing moves with it, if only i can not make this shaft thing move i can get it undone, any tips?

 

[Lessen]

take off the header, stick a heavy zip tie in the engine throught the exhaust port (above the piston) and then unscrew the nut.

 

[pissant]

ok thanks guys for all ur help, finally got the problem solved, it was the nut hlding the flywheel on!!! it was loose, now it works, very hard compression still, any other tips?

 

[ZANDOR]

:hump: I think i said that 400 posts ago!!! :shrug: LOL

 

[CorradoPsi]

this is why companies make RTR buggies.............................................

 

[pissant]

yea sry, for some reason i was being stupid again! my bad

 

[ZANDOR]

yea sry, for some reason i was being stupid again! my bad

Its cool Just busten your balls BRO!

Thats why you don't locktite that screw. You can try heating it up to loosen the locktite.

The manual says to locktite that screw btw, and so did I. There are gadgets you can buy off tower to stop the piston moving, but the zip tie way should work fine
