Step 1. Thread a clutch pin/screw (137) into each of the
small holes in the flywheel (138) and tighten with a .050" allen
wrench (44). The screws should be inserted from the rear as
shown.

A small amount ofthread locking compound should
be used on the threads of the clutch pins.

Step 2. Remove any hardware that came installed on
your engine. This includes all nuts, washers and prop hubs.
*NOTE: If your engine did not come with
a
glow plug you
will need to purchase one. Use
a
glow plug wrench, or
a
5/16"
nut driver to install the glow plug into the head of the engine.
Most glow plugs come with
a
brass washer. Make sure that
this washer is placed on the glow plug before it is installed.
The glow plugs that we have had the most success with are
the Dynamite #DYN2508, Dynamite #DYN2509, or the OS Max
#8. These plugs have
a
good heat range for use in engines for
gas powered trucks.

Step 3. Slide a flywheel shim (139) over the crank shaft,
and against the front bearing on the engine. Slide the flywheel
collet (140), large side first, over the crank shaft and next to
the shim (139).
:Joo-<J
There are two shims included in the kit. If the fly-
wheel interferes with the case of the engine, add a second
shim. If after the engine is installed, the gears don't line up
properly, a second shim can be added to help correct the align-
ment.
Step 4. Slide the flywheel (138), pins (137) out, over the
crank shaft. The flywheel (138) should be seated over the collet
(140). Thread the clutch nut (141) onto the crank shaft and
tighten it using a 1/8" allen wrench (44).
&
IMPORTANT NOTE: The clutch nut should be very
tight. Hold the flywheel with a rag in order to get a good grip
while tightening the clutch nut. There are special tools avail-
able for inserting in the head of the engine to keep it from
turning over while tightening the clutch nut. Other than these
special tools,· nothing should ever be inserted in the head of
the engine to keep it from turning over!
