clutch bell

After running my XB8EC last sunday I noticed some marks on the edge of the clutch bell and on the chassis under the clutch bell. It looks like when I ran the car the clutch bell occasionaly rubs on the chassis although I use the one piece engine mount.
I use the xray 13T clutch bell.
What might causes that?

Its caused from chasis flex. Do you have the one piece motor mount? If you are using the stock motor mounts and you hit something just right then this may happen as it did on my car. The one piece will help guard against that.

Nah, the clutch bell rubbing the chassis is no big deal because it will only touch for a split second. If it starts knocking a hole through your tank, that's when I'd worry, haha!
