I've got 2 Werks clutch setups that I don't use and was kinda wondering why no one really used them much anymore. I hear about 4 shoe clutch setups from M2C, Ascendency, Fioroni, etc, but not really Werks anymore... And they used to be the hot ticket. If I can get the right clutch nut, I'll revive my Werks clutches. I was just about to order some RC8 clutch shoes from Answer RC, but I may hold off now.

Also, I finally put some fuel through my B5. Got up to the third tank on the breakin process. Had the head wrapped and preheated because of the mid 30 degree temps.

The stock flywheel I have laying here measures 33.89 mm

Now regarding what you are seeing there are several things that can cause the tune to change i.e. weather changes, humidity, plug (going out), fuel tank/line issues, clogged filter etc. etc. etc. The first thing that I would advise is just like everyone else (thank you guys) has suggested is to just quickly double check everything is ok. If everything looks fine then you are probably just off on tune. Simply set your air gap to aprox .5mm, set your HS flush, set your LS flush and then fire the engine up. We know your engine is broken in so you can do things a little quicker. Blip the throttle for a couple of minutes to get some heat in the engine case and chassis then let it come down to idle. We are again going to use my system so if the idle is low, lean the LS to bring it back up. If the idle is high, richen the LS to bring it down. Once you get a smooth, steady idle toss the car on the track and start doing some laps and adjusting the HS for the top end performance that you want. Please keep in mind that when adjusting the HS if you lean it, it will also have the effect of leaning your LS. So... your idle will go up, simply richen the LS a couple hours to offset this (do not touch the idle stop screw) and you see a steady idle again. Keep on adjusting the HS, then the LS (for the idle) until you get the performance that you want. Once you get the HS set to where you want it, double check the idle and adjust it one last time with the LS needle and you are done!

Don't get stuck in the I have to see this temp in order for the engine to be running right type mentality. There are a lot of variables that will affect the optimum running temp of your engine and chiefly what is affecting it most this time of year is the exterior temperature. If it's 20 degrees outside your engine may only want to run at 190. If it's fast enough for you at 190 then leave it there and have fun...

Hope this helps, please give this a shot and let us know what you come up with.

Regards,

Ron Hopkins
