Clutch Cover, Clutch Disc
H-19prose procedureK8 DOHC engine block is aluminum (no magnetic base); use SST to hold dial indicator. B6 DOHC uses a magnetic base.
Clutch Cover Inspection (continued)
- 3The K8 DOHC engine is made of aluminum, so the magnet will not hold the dial indicator to the block as it would for the B6 DOHC engine. Therefore, use the SST to hold the dial indicator when checking the runout of the diaphragm spring fingers for the K8 DOHC engine.

- 4Rotate the flywheel and check for misaligned diaphragm spring fingers. Replace the clutch cover if not as specified.Maximum: 0.6 mm {0.024 in}

Clutch Disc
Inspection
- 1Inspect the lining surface for burning and oil contamination. Remove minor scoring or burning with emery paper. Replace the clutch disc if it is badly burned or oil soaked.

- 2Inspect for loose facing rivets and damper rubbers. Replace the clutch disc if either is loose.
- 3Measure the thickness of the lining at a rivet head on both sides with vernier calipers. Replace the clutch disc if its thickness is less than minimum.Thickness: 0.3 mm {0.012 in} min.

- 4Measure the clutch disc runout with a dial indicator. Replace the clutch disc if runout is excessive.Runout: 0.7 mm {0.027 in} max.
