I bought the srx8 non Evo from a fellow racer. Clutch and spur are per spec and genuine serpent and correct part numbers. Like I said, most will be ok but occasionally the outside casing of an engine is not perfectly aligned with its internals and this is what happens when you have a non adjustable mesh. Thanks for the inputs guys
