The blow out is caused by the spacing issue, if your HOWE has lets say .549" of stroke, and it takes .375" to disengage the clutch, then it only leaves you @ .125 of travel before the piston can pass the O-ring that holds the fluid in the TOB, if you account for your air gap of @ .174", then you are on the hairy edge,,,the HOWE 82876 only has .549 of travel and I used this TOB because of the lack of space available between the clutch fingers and the tranny face, but if you space the tranny back by using spacer or a thicker bell housing, you could use the HOWE 82870 that has .789" of travel and you would be less likely to blow the piston past the O-ring. McLeod #1345 Push/ TOB has a stop so that the piston will not come off, but the #1345 cost $350 for the bearing and you still need to necessary spacing. Also, I found this to use for spacers, I think I will order it and throw my 3-piece stack up in the trash. I'll buy some longer dowel pins as well. MOROSO 62595 - $47.00  |
