Where can I get a "rub Plate" between flywheel and motor plate?

Does any market/or make rub plates. I am looking for something that prevents flywheel from flexing on the end of the crank and causing problems with the rear main bering in a BAE billet block.

rub plate

Hello Len, I too am looking for such a thing and I was directed to McAmis race cars. On line they have a pic of one they call a motor saver plate but it goes behing the bell housing which would then create a few more issues. I am going to build one that bolts to the motor plate but stays inside the can. Let me know if you find something.
Thank

Talk to Mike Pavia. He's the clutch guy on Mickey Ferro's car and I think he makes/sells them. Just watch your clearances. Having it too close can create troubles too.

 

I do have them. I have a few different thickness. Call any time. 315 725 0668

 

Happy customer here.

So if you don't have a flywheel with carbide buttons and you buy one of these rings to attatch to your motor plate, how much clearance is too little, and what does the ring rub against on the flywheel ????

 

No need for carbide buttons. The flywheel hits the rub plate and is just fine. Most flywheels have about .200 clearance. I have rings in .060,.125, and .187 thickness

 

i need one

 

Better Solution to Preventing Damage to BAE Billet Block Rear Main

Steve Burck encountered the same problems a few yeas ago and tried everything to stop wiping out rear main saddles. Real problem was the use of a Crower Ti flywheel that is lightened in back by machineing out pockets. Jay Payne put us on to buying a solid backed Crower Ti flywheel that would not flex and did not flex. Installed new Crower Ti flywheel and eliminated problem of wiping out rear main bearing and block.
