4age adm t50 clutch line clearance

[keimeier]

Car - ke70

motor - 4age

problem - clutch line clearance between exhaust manifold?

occurs/started when - fitting engine

personal situation - dropped the 4a in yesterday and dummied up the exhaust manifold and found a problem due to clearance between manifold and clutch line going to slave(as seen in pics). removed the rubber line and made fit the best i could without fucking up the line too much.

is this enough clearance?
will the fluid heat up and thin/cook?

cheers :)

pm sam-Q for adm clutch line fix so it doesnt over heat unsure if it gives a little more clearance

[keimeier]

thanks ae86 yeah ive seen them someone pointed it out to me last night but budget is getting abit out of control..:(

[ae86]

its certainly not something you want to cheap skate out on but guess its your build your choice

i bought a braided clutch line with banjo fitting off sam-q, and it gives much more clearance. if you dont wanna fork out the coin for the braided line, just heatwrap the secondaries, should help a bit i guess

i got this made up by my local hydraulic shop.

about 60$ i think

banjo fitting to get it 90 degrees angle.

thanks for the help guys.

yeh think i will just heat wrap the secondries and see how that goes if not can always buy braided line off samQ or have one made up

[Sam-Q]

thanks khoala

keimeier watch out for not only the heat but work hardening

[Hen may possibly be a nut]

You need something flexible in your clutch line from body to box as your engine moves around a surprising amount in use. Rubber or braided. I got a banjo and rubber line made up at a brake place for not much.

[keimeier]

thanks again guys.

samQ sorry what do you mean by work hardening? ill send you pm soon as i have bit of spare cash for line

[Sam-Q]

every time you bend a normal grade peice of metal it hardens, This in due time wil harden to the point where it will not be able to flex anymore and it will crack open. Ie: bend too many times till it snaps. Being on an engine you should be able to get away for it for alittle while but not forever.

thanks for your help again! no worries man you have definitely convinced me send you pm next coulpe of days bout the line

[Sam-Q]

yeah no problem, or you can get one locally, it's not like I am trying to make a sale here

[Sam-Q]
