So it doesn't affect the engine in any way then? So mines an early type ? Oh last question now what sort of clutch do I need for it ?

take flywheel cover off gearbox and check which flywheel it has and order clutch to suit.

theyre what a 23-24 year old engine so anything could have been changed over the years for spares off later engines. best to check the actual flywheel than go off what design plug cover it has etc.
