Issue with 5t 2.0 clutch plate

[Cooper04]

Hey guys, I bought an ESP G340 kit with the pre-filed crankcase for my 5t 2.0. When I went to put the clutch plate on the crankshaft it’s too tight and rubs against the crankcase seal. I’m not sure if I need to stick a washer or something on somehow, but any help is appreciated.

there should be 2 regular washers behind the clutch and 2 wavy ones on top 1 on each bolt

Please take a picture of what your working with... need to know if your using a CY or a zenoah clutch holder and did you buy this kit with or without a crank?

I built 2 of these engines and had zero issues so I'd like to help you out and If I had to guess you didn't push the crank seal down enough

@RcJunkie13 you didn't read what he said. He said the clutch holder is rubbing on the crank seal and it has nothing to do with the actual clutch touching

Oh my bad lol my mind was confused coz I was working on the 36 when typing that response and the clutch bolts were rubbing on the case locking the engine

Excuses are like butt holes everyone has one and they all stink

That just means you don't wash yours properly

Sorry guys for wasting your time. I just filed the base of the clutch plate down some and it’s all good now. And in regards to the question about CY or Zenoah, it’s a zenoah holder right off the original engine the 5t came with. And also yes it’s the crank that the kit came with

Your not wasting our time and no offense thats not the right way to go about it if anything your just masking the issue and kicking the stone down the road. Something just doesn't add up with that issue

Yeah so I rekon the seal in the case is not pushed in enough or the wrong seal has been put in the crank. The stock seal is supposed to be 5.5mm thick. Try push the seal in a touch more with a socket
