I got a little time today and removed the engine from the engine stand to install the clutch, bit the bullet and cleaned up the OS triple disc setup and then installed the flywheel, torqued to 146ftlbs and then installed the clutch discs in the proper order with staggered plate fitments. Lightly bolted the front pressure plate for now until I get an alignment tool for the discs. I am still going to order a set of replacements discs and plates for the OS twin setup I have in the event that the triple is too aggressive.
Also torqued down the STi crank damper, 150 ftlbs and then a power handle and a long pipe to give it an added 20* turn, should do the trick. Belts will be added and covers fitted and then I need to space the front turbo oil return fitting and run a couple rubber hoses and then fit some sump covers. Next week I will bring the gearbox to the front and clean it up and fit it to the engine so that I can look at dropping in the engine.
Hoping for an easy install.
