The V4 is even worse cause there is even more places to adjust. There is like 3 places to adjust the same thing so it's just a big hassle


Played with it some more and seems all good but we shall see tomorrow morning as that's when the most problems are cause Motul doesn't like cold

I'm sure it's all fine, just take it easy on the car and allow the clutch to break in and you'll be good!
Yea, i'm good now, thanks. The guys at JE told me to take it easy on the new clutch and flywheel for 700 miles before laying into it. So steady crusin' for now.

Did you get the southbend billet aluminum single mass flywheel? If so, that one will make noise under like 1500 rpm or so. Made me a little uneasy at first, but I got used to it.

I don't remember off hand which flywheel it was from Southbend, i know I got the Stg 2 clutch in prep for adding a supercharger later but on my invoice from JE it does not specify which flywheel.
