RE: Let's talk thread lock (and shimming)
Sorry if you felt I was talking down to you. I didn't intend to. I was just posting of my meaningless experience. My clutchbells do not move in an out at all. They seem to work just fine that way. Do you need to do it my way? Of course not. I wouldn't do it if it didn't work. Maybe I'm just lucky that I get as much out of my clutch shoes and bells as I do. It makes no sense to want your clutchbell to be able to move in and out even .5mm, but that's just my opinion. If what you do works for you, great. At the end of the day, that's all that matters, right?
I have an open mind. I never claimed to be an expert, just stating my opinion like 95% of the members of this forum do. I am always open to learning something new... But if I have already tried something and had poor results from it I don't keep doing it. 3 sets of bearings and 1 set of aluminum clutch shoes in 1 gallon of fuel is poor results if you ask me. I got better results by changing the setup.
