I am saying that you do NOT want more than a 1600 lbs pressure plate. Read my post. The effect on the crank bearing is that it prevents oil to go to onw of the bearings, thus killing it. I could only find one reference to it and forgot the exact technical details. Be assured its true that over 1600 lbs will be bad for your crank bearings. Thats for the 3VZE.


What motor are you running ? 22RE? 1200 is fine for that as is 1600 for the 3VZE.

The Exedy kevlar setup was aorund $300 .. am happy to pay $100 more to have a lasting clutch. Organic OEM has worked for me but it was just time to try something new....

  i have a 20/22 hybrid i built and modified myself,  the 22R  has 5 main bearings,    i am sure the 3.0  has 4 but clutch clamping pressure has absolutely no effect on main bearing oiling

now  it MIGHT hurt your throwout bearing,  but the 1600 is clamping pressure, NOT pedal pressure

and i promise you marlins clutches will outlast any i have seen, and ive been putting clutches in everything from corolla's to bigrigs for 20 years


dang that makes me sound old
