pressure plate and stupid question
I have the RB road race 4 puck unsprung clutch but I need a pressure plate. It has to hold to 300rwhp (i wont have that much probably ~250) its the RB street/strip pressure plate a good choice for me?
Also, i posted this in my wire tuck thread, but thought it'd get answered faster here.
Somewhere at some point, i got water in my engine. I decided to turn it over by hand on the stand and i heard water, so I looked in with a flashlight. I saw rotors covered in wet, rusty looking water, but the engine still holds compression on all 6 rotor faces. I dumped some oil in there and spun the engine around a few times. Is my engine screwed do you guys think? If not, how can I clean it out or do i just not worry about it and it will be fine? I hope im worrying for nothing...
Thank you!

I am assuming that the water was like rain water or something and not coolant.
A possible problem is that the side plates are cast iron and can rust. If they have then the roughened surface will kill the oil seals and it will go into the classic smole on startup scenario.
If it was not in there long enough to cause rust then you may be ok.

re the water, oil it up! and keep spinning it. actually WD40 might be kind of ideal for this, WD= water displacement, formula 40. its original use was to keep atlas missiles from rusting.
anyways if the seals get rusty, then compression will drop, so if you have compression you're good

^^^^what they said Curtis.
As for your PP, I've got a RB Race PP (225 mm) if you're interested. It's slightly used. I had it on my car, but the ACT street strip disk I got was out of spec so it was slipping. So I replaced it with a Clutchmaster's FX500. The RB PP is in great shape though, if you want it I could do $75 shipped.
