Is it normal

Post by mikeintn » Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:00 pm

Just put the finals back on 350B, everything doubled check, finger height, and adjustments, its jacked up with the tracks off, when you lock up ether side it pulls the engine down 2 to 300 RPM's, has anyone tried this, I would have thought it wouldnt put any load on it :? , just for the heck of it I tried to back off the brake some and then take some clearance away from the free travel but nether made any different still pulls engine down alittle, I'm thinking its ok cant find anything wrong, just make me feel better to here someone else say they done it and its normal :D

Are you talking about going from dead stop, or are you already driving and you turn and it loses 200rpm?
