I just bought a spare parts motor from the same guy I have been buying all of my motor kits from. He was going to sell me the clutch kit for $40 (which is less than half of what it cost from Grubee), but the wait time was a couple months. He offered me a spare motor for $80 and I took it. It a kind of complete motor, with a cylinder and piston that was a different size than mine, but a head that was the same size. The bottom end all matched up. Now I have plenty of spare parts.
The problem was from the bolt coming loose, and I agree with you completely about the Loctite (which is on the new assembly I installed). This was the first motorized I ever built, and I had to do it without this forum, so I was pretty much working blind. I now keep blue and red loctite in my toolbox, and I use it liberally (mostly red). The red loctite will have no problem with the temperatures the clutch deals with.
