Gone very far to the Dark Side

Clutch out. Pretty close to the rivets. Flywheel is OK just a cleanup. Replacing combo pan gasket windage tray. Slow leak contaminated clutch over time.

Cleaned up the reusable clutch section parts. The flywheel looks a bit heat scorched & think I will replace rather than resurface it. It sits pretty close to my knees & it would really suck if it came apart at 7,500 RPM. Combination pan gasket & windage tray came in. Will drop & clean the oil pan tomorrow.

Last things left to take out for the mechanical work.

Windage Tray/Pan gasket combo & oil pickup

All the rest is out. Waiting on new flywheel, flywheel bolts & 5QT jug of Mobile EP full syn 5W-20 that is delayed to reassemble the system. Should be here Thursday & Friday for the flywheel & bolts.

No ETA on the oil. Not a stopper COYOTE/MOROSO oil pan takes 8 qts so I can always get some single quarts if it does not show up when the dash is done.

Was able to push the TKO-600 back far enough to work so I did not have to take it out. Nice thing when you are working alone.

No work today. Rifle range is now open & want to try out some new parts I added to 3 of the rifles. Also will be 80*F here today, time to put some quality top down mileage on the Z4
