Tyler my man it seems like your losing your cool. Calm down. Listen it would appear that it was just you and me having this discussion about the ClutchNet clutch no one else. I'd also go ahead and say MY points (again not "you guys") are rather valid and I never claimed to know it all. In your post your acting as if everyone here on CEG was questioning you, I actually bolded and colored your statements above. It is JUST ME, not EVERYONE. I know you had a ClutchNet clutch first, never disputed it and it's actually why I went with one because you've had such good luck with it. I've also been keeping my replies to your posts reasonable in the argument/debate I wish you could have done the same. When you blow up in your posts like that then you bring on the fire and everyone starts flaming. If you are that passionate about it, which I know you are, you can just PM me if you want to go crazy with it.
I also accept your apology, if you have anything else you want to discuss about the clutch just PM me and we'll take if from there. Everyone else lay off TRicker and try to stay on topic. I'll post more updates as they come, which most likely will be Wed.
Tyler here is that picture I promised. My last point on the matter... debris could get trapped in the cavities where the window use to be. Not saying it will as I would think there should be enough open area for it to clear, but it's possibly and that's all I was trying to say earlier and that is why they have the windows there (ignore the dust in the pic)

Well guys I just dropped off the block and crank at Wagamon Bros. My K1 rods are scheduled to be delivered today from UPS as well! So Friday I will be bringing the rods, heads and bolts to Wagamon Bros. at which point they will wet measure the cc's of the heads, weigh the rods, and determine the appropriate dish size for my pistons. Then they will hone out the block and order the pistons. The pistons will most likely take 2-3 weeks from CP, but the machine work will be done on the block by next week. I better test fit my turbo piping this weekend and then start pulling my 2.5L out. I might be able to get my car out for paint yet before the end of December! This is moving a lot faster then I thought it would!
I'll take pics of the rods and post them when I receive them today.
