fuck that. sounds sketchy as hell. these motors are everywhere. just like with s5x's, I want a motor that ran in a car, then was pulled (or I can buy a wrecked chassis as is). noone wants to thumb through some idiots guesswork

I am gonna say this right now: there isn't a goddamn thing you can do with a clutch that will make a timing chain skip a tooth. No way, no how.
