its where the clutch bells teeth meet the spur gears teeth, its best to put a piece of looseleaf paper between them and push them snugly together and tighten the engine screws on the bottom.

So i am not actually looking for a piece of mesh. The paper is just to make sure that there isnt to much room?


p.s. dont know if you remember but awhile back you gave me a link to a starter. Well i got it and this was a life saver. My truck now starts runs and is as tuned as i think it can be!!! Thanks

yeah the paper helps to maintain an ideal gap when you tighten down the engine mounts.

make sure you engine isn't crooked, make sure its a snug fit, and use locktite on the screw that secure your engine to the chassis. i never did, and i have stripped 4 gears and got lucky once cause the engine just slid away before it had the chance to stripp anything. locktite is a must, at least for me, but dont take chances, just use it and your good to go.

use the blue locktite, the red is permanent and not easy to take out. Blue is easier.
