Kruz...the 'cone' shape of the imaginary lines are heading to a point inward..not out.The angle is going inward...not out.That pic there is of the bellville,not the spring/washer deal.I saw that...that's not the part.Look at the zx14 clutch diagram on 6-2...the spring is clearly shown(the angle part).Compare the 'drawing' of that 'spring' to the washer it sits against.See the difference in 'thicknesses' of the two pieces?Look close...one(the washer)is showing a consistant width of the ring all the way around.Now look at the 'spring"..see the narrowing as it passes the 6 o'clock and is drawn around to the 9 o'clock.That thin area right there is the inward angle making it appear 'thinner'.That's what that is....if you didn't know what it was...you might think it was a lousy drawing...it's like the two spacers for the rear axle pic...they look ALMOST identical...but as they're drawn on an angle...they show a third dimension to the depth of the 'barrel"...the one is shorter than the other and the flange is 'bigger' on the one.They couldn't show that spring angle if they had a two dimensional diagram...see that?'Cone tip' is pointing inward.On the stock configuration.
"Why would Brock tell you to install the spring facing out in the video? That makes no sense for him to reverse the judder spring"...well...I can only guess that his WASHER is shaped somewhat 'thicker' or something...and maybe that makes a difference on that spring orientation...IDK...You don't suppose he just messed up maybe?...He's definitely got a reason for doing it like that.Isn't his washer made 'thicker' than the stock one?I thought it looked like that....????He said something about the lip?and the flat side.IDK.I didn't watch it again.I will.
That 'h' in that drawing there..that's probably a 3 mm depth(on the zx10R spring)...weren't you wondering about the depth or something?If Brock's was thicker(the washer)...that 'depth' would effectively be less...seein how it would be being forced against the part there even more.
I just watched it again..he installs that large silver washer..it's thicker..and then installs the washer and judder ring...but he had it reversed when he showed us how the angle was...did you catch that?I mean..he was holding it correctly...with the point going inward(following his finger),but then he turned it 'over' as he said "the point goes outward away from the engine' or whatever it was.He mentioned the imaginary cone deal(how it would point outward)...but the ring was NOT turned that way...see that?He messed up I think...watch when he holds the judder ring...then points with his finger as he describes the 'point'...see how the ring angle(the ID) is facing OUTWARD(down as it is in his hand) there?That's NOT how it was stock.It was facing INward,and he turned the ring as he went to reinstall.Almost a 'sleight of hand' deal it looked like to me.IDK why he oriented them like that as he explained the cone...with the two parts right next to each other like he had em.
He does remove that one ring...to make room for the 'mod'...3mm?
Hub quoted the zx10 guy..."What had got me wondering, #2 steel shows a wear pattern suspiciously like the factory reversed the spring and had it facing cone inboard towards the engine. This places the wide base of the spring against #2 steel and that was the way the wear pattern matched up"...well...yeah...it's supposed to face inward...IDK WHAT that guy was seeing...saying it was not installed correctly.It was.And yeah...there WILL be a bit of wear marking with it like that...normal.
