<VV> Fwd: engine noise

[Shaun McGarvey]

If a clutch disc with the springs a la Vega was installed, the springs can 
just nick the flywheel bolts unless a thinner spacer plate is used. You 
won't feel it when you turn the engine by hand because the tranny is in 
neutral and the disc is turning with the flywheel.
It will likely clearance itself before too long.

yea, Vairily ... Shaun

Howdy All,

I have a friend who had his Vair worked on by a non Vair mechanic.
Engine ran fine before the work was done. A new clutch was installed and
now there is a knocking noise. Checked all crank and bell housing bolts
and none are rubbing. The sound is a kind of solid thunk. Not as solid
as a rod bearing knock and lighter than valve train noise. There is no
rubbing felt when I rotate the engine by hand. I am not sure how far
into the engine they went but I am trying to find out. Can the separator
plate be installed upside down? Just an idea before I tear it down.

Thanks,
Bob
