Take the clutch bell off after every race, clean the clutch shoe with denatured alcohol ( fuel and dirt get in there during fast pit stops or if you have a sloppy pitman ). Clean the thrust bearing after each day of racing to prolong its life, and Mugen Super Grease works great for the thrust bearing.

Regular grease on the thrust bearing will stick on the inside of your body after you pull the throttle for the first time.
I use this Trinity purple stuff (the really sticky one), or a graphite spray that will dry on and leave a thin film.

After every race, remove all the centax parts and clean with no clorinated brake parts cleaner, lubricate the bearing with boca bearings high temp oil,for the thrust bearing I use Syntetic grease that is normaly used to lubricate retainers pins for brembo brakes, work great. starting the race day I pust some of these grease on the thrust bearing ans I check the bearing before the main and still have grease, put some moore and ready!

If I am using a thrustbearing I use Tri-Flow, it is a spraycan with a teflon oil, it works great on the bearing and CVD's.
Normally When the thrustbearing is broken I place a 10x5 brass ring between the 2 steel discs to make it a ball less bearing.
