V1 Dragon Motorsports 2.0 [Extended\Open-Frame\Easy Entry Door Bars] - [2007 LSJ SS Donor] - [Frame #392]

So, it is very tight in there, does not seem to be enough room in there to connect a relocation hose?

 

[Ross]

@scannx mounted one, so did @Sebnuts.
Maybe they can help with that clutch remote bleeder.

 

[Jareth]

What is the hose in the centre of this pic for?

.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Is it coming from the fuel injector rail or someplace else? If from the rail it is a return line to the fuel tank from the pressure regulator.

 

[Jareth]

Sorry should have taken a closer look at the other end, it’s coming from the head. So dose it go to the overflow tank?

.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Yes, that's the overflow connection for the radiator coolant.

LNF doesn't have whatever that thing is that's in your way.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

That's engine oil cooler. it is quite different between the LNF and everything else.

I have 8 manual cars over Ethernet year and this will be my first clutch replacement.

[Desert Sasqwatch]

PB Blaster on all of those bolts way before trying to remove them, would hate to see broken bolts and the frustration of removing the remaining stud.
BTW, where is the transmission spacer? Did it have one?

 

[Jareth]

I think I will get my a$$ out of bed right now and go give them a soaking.

[Jareth]

Great another special toolset that I need to buy to remove clutch bolts

Why do they need to make them with special head?

OH! Those are Special Aftermarket pressure plate bolts!, adds 5 HP just looking at them. Neat looking, but ARE they the proper grade bolt!? I think "proper grade" is more important than "looking cool". IMO

 

[comegetjoe]

The F40 transmission case is held together with those.

 

[Robinjo]

I definitely didn't buy the impact version of those. The only place they get used (that I've found) is the flywheel bolts and a couple that are on the transmission case.

 

[Jareth]

They are holding the pressure plate on.

.

 

[Jareth]

So although the donor started up with no issues, there no way I‘m putting this one back in

So out with the old and in with the new

.

 

[Ark :D]

Don't overtorque on the copper studs. Ask me how I know.

 

[Jareth]

Thanks for the warning.

.

 

[Jareth]

Is it just me or do most replace all the old parts or just wait until they fail and then replace them. I can not help to feel that they have 120K on them so let’s replace them while it’s easy?

Here’s latest part.
