Steamhammer*Germany* Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 H guy's, i need your help, please explain me how a lookout clutch works, if possible, with one or two pictures, because nobody, i know here in germany, knows how it works. And i will use it in my new motor. Then, help me again, i wanna build a new motor in the next winter, i have a crankcase, with transmission, from a rd350 bike and wanna use a 4mil crank, maybe with long rods. I am a street(asphalt) only driver, like a lot of people are here in germany. Which cylinders i should get and should i use straight cut gears? With best regards Steamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 the lockup uses centrifugal force. it hase counter wieght on the lockup that open when the clutch spins. and locks your pressure plate down and allows no slippage. as far as your cylinders goes id keep your stock ones and have them ported. theres alot of power tht you can pull out of those things. just keep in mind when you put in the stroker crank its not just drop in and go. your going to need porting to change the port timings, a new clutch probly a longer swinger and depending on what kind of riding your doing bigger carbs and pipes... also with the stroker your going to have to either cut your stock head or get a cool head and have domes cut for the extra stroke. start looking around on here, you will find a ton of info about differant setups. start researching which would best suite u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamhammer*Germany* Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi Banshee-eman, thanks for your explaination for the clutch. Have you or anybody a photo, how the clucht looks, if it is installed, on the motor? I don't have the original cylinders, i have to use others. Which are okay for street driving? Cub, cheetah cubs, twisters, where can i get the twisters? Whats the difference at the twisters? And what do you think about the sraight cut gears? Thanx a lot for your answers!

Bansh-eman Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 twisters are very nice cranks but not needed for what your going to be doing... just get a hotrods... same thing with cubs. Those are drag cylinders. So unless you plan on doig wide open racing i wouldnt bother .... Your not really going to need stright cuts either. it bolts right on top of the pressure plate wher the springs go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamhammer*Germany* Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, thanks, good picture. How much space i need for the lookupin the cover, maybe in mm ? Because i build my lookout clutch case by myself. Okay twisters are gone, but waht is with normal cubs or cheetah cubs?

Bansh-eman Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 you have to either cut your stocker and weld/epoxy this ring thing comes with the kit. or you can buy a new cover thats got some reinforced parts on it... the cubs are new cylinders that come off the press with drag port specs on them...

Steamhammer*Germany* Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, so do you think, that the only right way is to go with the stock cylinder or can you please tell me others i can use for street driving.
