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.:D

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