unless you have to scrape gasket...

speaking of clutches (dont mean to hijack this thread) but what is the difference between the barnett and a oem replacement? will you notice any difference for the street? what are some characteristics of the barnett?

Main difference is in the material used for the friction plates. Most of the Barnetts use kevlar plates, the oem plates are cork based.
