I put the zip tie under it and its sitting alot better now.

You think there is a process to restore the burnt finish?

Found it....Imma try to color it again.....

1.Coat the titanium in phosphoric acid (cola will do). This is easily done by filling a paint roller's pan (or a shallow tub) with cola, then dipping the titanium into the pan.
2.Attach a wire to the titanium with a clip, then attach a battery (or multiple batteries) to the wire.
3.Attach another wire to the paint brush, then attach the same batteries to this wire. It does not matter if the batteries' positive or negative terminals is attached to the titanium or brush, as long as current flows in one direction.
4.Fill a jar with cola, then dip the paint brush to coat it in cola.
5.Experiment with various voltages to achieve different colors:

Bad news...

Found out the noise I was getting was not the TOB but the wear indicators. John showed me the clutch disc and it ate into the pressure plate and flywheel too bad. Time to order a new clutch kit and flywheel.

I think it was the clutchnet disc that was the issue. I should have changed to the ACT disc a long time ago

Think I may try out Competition Clutch this round.
