I had to take my engine out to surface the deck. When I made the block, I intended for the deck to get surfaced by the engine builder. Well, it wasn't. Some of the sleeves were too high, and one of them was lower than the deck surface. So I could not get it to seal properly, that is the combustion chamber I'm talking about.

The clutch, if I remember correctly, it was a clutch for a Saleen S7. Then I made the flywheel as light as I thought I could. The clutch and flywheel combination only weighed in at 26 pounds or so. I think a typical clutch and aluminum flywheel from Mcleod weighed in at 46 pounds.
