Tilton Hydraulic Release Bearing Anyone using one of these? I have a new LS6 and TKO600 with an adpator plate and t56 bellhousing. Thinking of using a Tilton Hydraulic Release Bearing rather than the old fashioned slave cylinder - anyone done it and got any helpful hints.
Cheers

I have my front retainer up there now. They took measurements, but I opted for a partially finished one rather than wait 6 weeks. I will get it machined locally. They should be able to provide one soon.

So you're saying you have an external slave( instead of the concentric slave)? In fact that is the old fashioned part. The Tilton parts are nothing new.The TKO500/600 use the old "bow tie" bolt pattern at the case. If you are in fact using a T56 clutch housing, you must have a fabricated intermediate plate ( yea, where did you get it?).

No, I am using a Lakewood for an SBC. Had to clearance the engine plate for the rear cover bolts, but it bolts on and the TK600 bolts to it.
