Default RE: Oiling groove In Auto Clutch. Raptor60

well i checked with his site & the wording he used "Note: Do not add addition oil or lube to the autorotation hub. I run mine nearly dry, just a thin film of oil in the needle bearings. There have been reported instances where this has caused the 'wah-wahs"

So i guess i'm still doing the right thing by making those oiling grooves, cuz the triflow would not get into the needle bearings otherwise!

About the top grooves, i suggest you add 4grooves on the top as it takes a little longer now for the oil to "wick" into the inside(needle bearings & lower jurnal bearing) maybe because of wear deposits bulding up in the groove channel! maybe add two more on the lower on also!
But its been performing flawlessly Since the mod, spins reallly really easily in one direction & locks solid in the other.. now that is a good clutch!! lol
By the way, does anyone want to know exactly "how" this type of clutch works?
