I knew there was a reason to come to this forum. You guys seem to know what you are talking about. I like to hear all of the advice on the new motors. Soon I will be installing the NEW STS .28 on my SAVAGE. I cant wait, it is like waiting on christmas. I recently purchased new hardned steel spur gear and clutch bell for preperation of the new motor to arrive. I also went from a 2 peice clutch to a 3 peice clutch. Also I was told to tighten the clutch as tight as possible for the sts due to it ripping the clutch pad right out. Any advise on more preperation of this BEAST of a engine will be apprechated. Thanks Guys For the help and the Advise. I look forward to learning more from you guys.
