    sum motors require a spacer on the output shaft to push the clutch out a little bit to keep it from hitting the bolt flanges sticking out of the face of the motor.

    I took a washer and bored it out to my shaft size then chamfered one side to fit the radius of the shaft ware the shaft go's into the motor to keep the gap from being to big. this can be made using a drill to drill out the hole to your shaft size then using a grinder or file make the chamfer on one side to match the radius of the shaft. or have your machinist friend make you one. you just need enough clearance to keep the clutch from hitting your motor.

It appears that ri puts them on their stock engines too. Sorry to hear about your 22 falling through. The 16 is a common engine in a max II and i even see them in the IV. I believe member george has one in his attex little truck, and even after sinking at busco in the spring it still gets around pretty good.
        You can get flanges or the hole kit from Exhaust Systems : EC Distributing, Your Online Racing Store!
