Hey guys. Ive been a part of the comunity here for some time (about 3 years) but I was pretty dormant, just reading what other people had to say. I had a **** of a time learning about these engines and finally getting things to work. I feel that I could contribute a bit more now that I have learned so much more about these little things. nonetheless let me get to the point.
I have heavily modified one of my HT engine (high compression head, tuned pipe,dellorto carb, quality needle bears, ported exhaust, rejetted, etc) and I feel that with all these increased performances you need a decent clutch system to take full advantage.
Here are the specs of the material that I will be working with to make new and better clutch pads
High-Friction Sheets 5,000 ft./min. @ 500 psi 550° F 500 psi 0.55
There a bit on the expensive side, and quite difficult to work with but I have a laser cutter. That should make things a **** of a lot easier and more accurate.
Questions and concern:
Is there a way that I can test the two other than by feel? Some that should yeld results that can be quantified?
Should I look into things other than the pads? Do the pads make that much of a difference?
