If the flywheel is warped buy a new clutch. It has warn that thing irregular from being run on a warped flywheel. I know spending more money sucks. But pulling the tranny again would suck worse!

It sounds like an air pocket to me. Get a friend to help... Unlock the bleeder screw for the cooling system. Take the cap off the radiator wrap the sprayer on the end of a garden hose with a rag.

Yes you can just use a scraper and brake cleaner on the block. A die grinder with a green plaque wheel on it works wonders on the block. The head will need to be resurface though

So it is normal for the pedal not to return when I lock the bleeder. After pulling it up by hand it stays up and then returns on its own

There is a shim that goes in between the retaining ring and bearing to correct this input free play. You can order different ones to correct this play

Clutch pedal return

When bleeding the clutch I hold the pedal to the floor and open the bleeder valve to let the air out. Then I lock the bleeder back down should my pedal return on its own? It doesn't return when i close the bleeder I have to pull it up by hand and repeat. When I lock the bleeder it returns on its own...

Try fixing your iacv as well. It uses that to adjust your air at idle. Without the proper air at idle it will cause you to run rich.

I dont think I would try this. I would just pull the engine in the long run you will be better satisfied. A quick fix isnt always the best. Pull the engine

The rods are designed to work with the crank and you have to have a different piston to work with the kit. The only way to do that seperate is to use a stock crank and BC makes a stock F...
