I recently acquired rv6 flywheel exedy stage 0 clutch and ARP headstud kit. Im going to do the rear main seal while im doing the clutch and flywheel, and obviously I will replace head gasket and valve cover gasket while doing the headstuds.

Questions:

1. For the clutch what do I need? Obviously a few qts of MTF, some brake fluid because im also doing braided clutch line and the rms. The Kit came with throw out bearing. Do I need to concern myself with slave cylinder or master cylinder? Pivotfork? I understand the subframe may need to come out so new subframe bolts because they're torque to yield. Can anyone suggest other things i will absolutely NEED to have?

2. What about for the headstuds? I need gaskets obviously, and some type2 coolant since the heads coming off. What about a valve adjustment? Do I need to have any machining done? Anything else I need?

Car is 2022 SI 39k miles

Thabks for the help in advance friends.

I didn't personally do mine but Eman did mine.

He gave me back my stainless steel clutch line and said they have a tendency to go bad and OEM is fine.

He didn't do any machining and just replaced fluids/gasket when taking off the head.

He said the cars come off from factory and should do a valve adjustment which I had him do.

Hope this helps.

get some Honda hi-temp Urea Grease for the throwout bearing. don't want to skimp there. would hate to have to drop the tranny again just for the throwout bearing.

transmission takes exactly two quarts.

might be a good idea to get some feeler gauges so you can check valve clearances, but they'll probably still be within spec.

machining shouldn't be necessary. usually overheating is what causes it to warp.
