Default Monster level 3 after 15,000 miles

So I am the middle of fixing my low oil pressure problem and pulled the clutch.

Here is my monster level 3 after 15,000 miles, car has 405 rwhp.

Does this look like it is shot? It looks like the rivets are almost going to touch the flywheel. It was squealing upon take off also for the longest time.

No, I think it looks pretty good, If you did not put it in yourself,then you may not know the pads on the new clutch disc are really not very thick, they were thinner than I thought they would be when I ran my manual setup.. the flywheel looks good in the pics, I dont see any burning, or hazing, Pressure plate looks great too. From the Pics, everything looks good.Remember before you put it back together spray everything with brake cleaner, and dont touch the clutch, or mating surfaces, You should be good to go.

I put it in myselft and remember it wasnt that thick. I emailed monster for the new thickness and I will measure it. It would be great if I dont need a new clutch as my engine is in pieces now due to a oil pressure problem.

moster would know. I know when I had my Rams, they would be like .3xx new. And they told me .280 was the min. When I took mine out it was at .250 and the rivets were starting to touch. Your see heat on the disc.

I think that looks great for 15K miles, you dont ride the clutch. No heat marks at all, I htink you have stock gears with the cam too.

I always have heat marks, but I got to a track a little. haha

99 problems
My oil problem is at high rpm , it drops to 40 or sometimes 20. All other pressures are normal.

I sent an email to monster so I will see what they say. It holds great but the squealing definetely sucks.

Oh yeah, i pulled the motor apart, the valve struck one of the pistons, just put a nick in it.

I was told the squealin is from slipping it too much, it puts a glaze on it. Steve, owner of monster, sakd to be on it and it will go away, mine never went away even after dropping it like 10 times.

Dropping it from a stop and blowing the tires off is not what we mean by beating on it. If the tires go up in smoke it does very little to deglaze the clutch.

I actually do this going 60 mph. Also, side step it in 3 or 4th while going this fast.
