Ranch or Honey Mustard with my fried SBC OFE?

[AndyMan]

My new injectors have assisted me in frying my clutch up nice and crispy. It's about 8 months old, and hasn't lived too hard of a life. I thought it would'a lasted longer.



Question is... can the disc be re-lined w/o buying a whole new assembley? At only 8 months old, I'd think I could still use the pressure plate and flywheel (after resurfacing of course).

call peter at south bend he will give ya an honest answer

 

[AndyMan]

Oh yeah, he's a fantastic guy. I've dealt with him in the past. He stays busy, so I posted to know what to expect before I bug him.

 

[AndyMan]

Decided to heck with it, I'll just go ahead and call Peter, which is what I should'a done b/f posting. I know it's been beat to death, but man he's got the customer service thing down pat. As usual, he was more than willing to talk, make suggestions, and help.

Whats the verdict?

 

[AndyMan]

basically a good deal on a new one. I'm very satisfied with the arrangement.



Yada yada... I guess I don't have to worry with re-lining. I'll buy the new clutch at a great price and re-surface/re-use my flywheel.

 

[NDaniels]

Sweet! I figured that they would go the extra mile.

How much hp are you running? I am surprised mine hasnt let go yet, I gotta be getting close to the 600hp with the new DVs and pump work... Awesome clutch.

 

[AndyMan]

Oh, I'm nowhere near 600. I'd say I'm all over 400, but that's about it.

 

[wildmanben]

Wierd, I figured it should of held more, I dunno. Mine will probably let go tomorrow now...

 

[AndyMan]

Oh it should've (and probably would have). I don't know how the previous owner of the truck treated the clutch. Regardless of what really happened, I'm going to blame him for the failure. I doubt it was the HP or the clutch's fault. OFE's are too well proven. I told Peter the whole situation, and he's working with me regardless.
