First off, this is NOT a debate about which oils to use. No need to get the popcorn out, folks.
1. I have the Barnett +1 clutch kit. The little paper inside says you only need to soak the plates for like 5 minutes. I've always been under the impression that you need to soak them at least a day. Which is correct? Should I be better safe than sorry?
2. For break-in (no this will not be a break-in procedure debate thread, so put that popcorn back), what's the recommended schedule to change the oil? 50, then 500, then?
3. I'd like to monitor temp and pressure. Pressure should be easy, just get a mechanical gauge on the oil pump where the sender unit goes.
As for temp, that's a little less simple. Where and how should a sender (I'd like a mechanical one as well) be mounted? I did a little searching and saw MRieck recommended the temp be taken from the pan. I also read somewhere that the temp can be taken from the oil cooler/adapter plate (not sure which side). But as my guy fell through on machining me one (not sure why, but not a topic for this thread), I won't be using one yet. I do plan on it though.
4. Anything else I'm missing?
