Scratches of clutch housing

Post by SandNSpiders »

Hello,

Whatcha all think?

Normal, but I would clean around that plug opening before I did much maintenance. Don’t need all that dirt and crap falling into your engine.

Scared me too first time I saw that years ago. Once you replace your clutch and have the cover off the first time you will notice it's machining marks for clearance with another gear.
