Surprised you got that long out of the plastic junk.

The bleeder line is a life saver, actually makes it possible to bleed the thing.

it is unbelievable to me that the standard plastic CSC was supplied with a $3000 NPC twin plate clutch kit rated to 1000hp.

So it turns out I had snapped a flywheel bolt. It ended up between a clutch plate and the flywheel which prevented the clutch from engaging properly. Flywheel will get a machine and I'm getting Tony Bellert to dowel the crank in hopes I never have bolt snapping problems again.

I am very surprised you hadn't done that already. Kinda the go to thing over 400rwkw of your gonna clutch kick it, pretty much mandatory if over 500.

Good to hear it's being fixed though.

Yeah I should have done this a while ago. The problem was motivation and pulling everything apart again. Now my hand is forced so to speak haha.

I've got the engine back from TBRE. As well as the dowelling work, I got him to replace timing gear and fortunately as he was tearing down the engine found that some cam lobes laminate had perished and so he put in a new set of billet stage 1's. Bit of an unexpected bummer but good to find it early.
