RE: TRF801X Build Thread
The exiting part! Engine + Clutch. I will be using a werks pro centax type clutch. This will be different than the stock assembly.
The first thing to do is install the engine mount. The tension is provided by the spring washers. However I like to use some threadlock as well. There are two ways of installing the mount with your hex driver. Remove the engine head which I did here, or a nice long ball hex driver. A normal hex driver will be blocked or operates at angle and strip the hex head.
I removed the head because it's always a good idea to check if the factory installed the correct shim. You might need to add/remove shim depending on your location, nitro %, plug choice. The factory recommendation is based on sea level and the stock recommended plug.
The collet is also an important step. They wlil have different length/taper. You will have to use the correct collet + shims to obtain the optimal setup for your car. In this case I went with the stock kit collet, and had to switch it out for the one supplied with the engine later.
