Sounds like you have it under control. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

thanks so much so my torque wrench is in foot pounds so im guessing a little under 10 ft lbs?

 

10 ft pounds is 120 inch pounds. You'll be fine with that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

thank you verry much for the help...... so from whati read you are the man when it comes to these things so whats all this talk i read about removing the rolers from the clutch? what does it do and how bad is it for the belt? and how do you do it?

 

Removing the rollers will increase the stalll slightly.
It has no effect on the belt.
