...Speaking of which, how do I know if I should use a 10 inch or 10.5 inch
clutch?  Someone mentioned 11 inches, but I don't know about that.  The
flywheel on my engine has bolt holes spaced just over 11  inches.  Does a
10.5 inch clutch have more grabbing power than a 10 inch?  Any input would
be greatly appreciated.  Also, does anyone have a part number for the needle
roller pilot bearing?  Thanks!  Mauro  B382001355LRXFE.
