Oh man. Trying to bleed the clutch tonight. Alot. Finally noticed when the
slave piston is all the way out there is clearance, the piston hasn't even
started pushing the rod. This is my first LBC, never noticed or thought twice
about the release fork having a bend in it, thought it was supposed to be that
way.
First of all, Moss, VB and AHSpares, none show a fork available for a 948
(unsure if they mean a smoothcase is different than a ribcase or what), but at
any rate if someone has one I could use it.
Second, is this a warning sign, could it happen again right away? I've
replaced all the other clutch components, the old clutch had washers inserted
above the springs, if this is a clue.
At least I never really got a serious amount of work done after getting the
engine in, maybe this is how you guys get so good at R&R these motors at the
track and so forth. I can borrow a cherry picker, so that's not a problem, not
like having to rent one.
