I know you are supposed to leave a small gap between the cluch bell and the spur gear but everytime I go to tighten my screws on the engine mounts it goes in right up against the spur gear? How do you correct this?

put a piece of paper between them and bolt down the engine. then remove the paper afterward and the space should be fine.

that didnt do anything man. do you have any other suggestions I keep stripping spur gears with this pos setup.

The only way I have been able to this is to tightne up the screws almost all the way then tap with a hammer and screwdriver to the correct distence that tighten screws more until the distence and tightness is correct.
