What is your experiance with the FE?

10in soft loc clutch. Did not have any issues . We lost a lot of weight over those lakewoods.

Recently did my McLeod aluminum bellhousing. After fighting with the parallel I decided to remove the powder coating. Ended up being the ICT billet spacer I was using, it was off .010 from the dowel holes to the top. My concentric on the other hand was way off. I ended up using the Robbmc dowels.

As a old IH truck mechanic we were required to make three checks when there was a clutch disengagement problem.

1. flywheel parallel to the block (dial indicator on block, turn crank to check flywheel face)

2. face of Bellhousing parallel to the flywheel (dial indicator on flywheel, check bellhousing face when turning crank)

3. center hole in the bell matching the centerline of the crank.
