Default Centax III

Since the car is completed, I'm ready to break in the new engine and the car itself.

When putting the car together the longest it took was to assemble the Centax. Everything else was pretty striaght forward since I have an Impulse Pro. I don't have a feel if the Centax is built 100% correctly. Here is the info, and maybe you Centax experts can give me some advice. I have shimmed the clutch gap just shy of .7mm, I added just one .1mm shim there. And for end play, I added all the shims (about 6 or 7) but there is still some end play...I didn't measure it but I'd say about .5-.6mm. The clutch bell can spin freely when crank shaft pointing either up or down.

Thanks,
Ron
