On a side note (crikey someone's dug out an old thread! :eek well in fairness everyone complains if you don't use the search function 
)...
Anyway as I was saying, talking about the clutch slipping, last time I rebuild my engine I used a 50/50 mix of molybdenum grease and engine oil on all the cam holders. This has obviously now gone through the engine and now my clutch slips at max torque. I only used a fine coating but obviously even a bit will cause a problem!
When people say the friction modifiers will 'kill' the clutch, can it be 'washed' off? Or is my clutch now ruined? I have a spare clutch, but could I not just give the old plates the washing up liquid or degreaser treatment, re-oil and refit?
Cheers!
