Probably going to continue my clutch project today, as all my parts are here.

Just got this in the mail this morning:
ACT Clutch Kits | Products ~ ACT / Performance Clutch Kits, Clutches and Flywheels

And going to pick up my LNF bearing in an hour.

And I tried to find flywheel machining specs for how much I can take off but can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know the specs? I am probably going to pick up a service manual just to make things go as smooth as possible.

Thanks!

Get the "LSJ Power BooK" Also,
It covers how to replace the clutch.
