Hi guys,i took a picture of my clutchbell mesh with my spur gear, it's a little too angle and i would like to know if it's ok or wrong?

Is this on a Xb808??

I can't see any pics Keyser...

I assume it's an 808 your on about as I don't think the older version had a wonky mesh, hehe.

I set mine up so there is a tiny bit of play between the clutch bell and crown gear, the gears are not supposed to be parallel with each other, as you said there should be a slight angle - I find the quieter the clutch bell when rolling the better - if it is noisey then it could need bedding in a little or the mesh is too tight/loose.

Try a peice of paper between both gears to get the mesh, then tighten down the bolts

Yes it's a XB808,but not the 09' version!
My clutchbell is with a angle and i don't know if that's ok,well the train doesn't make much noise and it's very free,but i think with that angle,the bearings will blast!

The clutch bell is supposed to hit the spur at a slight angle and it won't affect wear much (according to Xray).

The whole angled engine setup is mentioned in the manual but I know a lot of people to have missed it assuming it's straight.

As long as your engine mounts follow their mounting holes properly you shouldn't need to look at the meshing angle.

The 808 was designed with the engine & spur slightly out of line & it is ok in this format. Personally i twist the engine so the engine & spur are as close to parallel as possible, in doing this the bearings will last longer & you will get a better life span from the spur & clutch.

my 8o8 cluch and spur mesh nearly dead straight

Well that's the problem, i can't put in any other situation/angle without making too much noise (too tight or too lose), so the only way i can put it,for the drivetrain feeling free and without making too much noise is in that position,but it's quite angled and i'm a little afraid the bearings blast!
