No RCM, Rock Auto here I come!

[elarm1]

Well after no response from an email I sent RCM, I have decided to go with Rock Auto for all my clutch and parts. My question is, I only see a Sachs clutch available, How good is it for my dd needs? Also the rod bearings are sold in singles with the option to have them sized or you can just get the standard. Would I be fine with just the standard? Lemme know, ready to put this Sho back on the road!

Standard is what you would use if the crank has never been turned before. Standard will work if your crank isn't too eaten up.

If it is a little "chewed" you would need to get the crank turned.. when they remove material, you need "oversized" bearings to take up the space left by the smaller crank.

If its been turned before is when you would need oversized bearings. If you have another car to drive for a while, pull the pan and see what you have in there. "Boat"s old motor had .75 bearings in it... already been turned, and if another set of 75's didn't work, well its done.. time for a new crank.

We were going to do those before he wrecked his car... and more than likley, we would have had some standard bearings, only to find out his crank had already been turned.. like someone already spun a bearing in the car.

For unknown reasons like that.. its good to see whats in there..


Riddle me this.... how many miles are on this thing... and how many were on it when you bought it..

You can get a Luk clutch on ebay for like 230 bucks shipped.
