section for torque converters??

#1
is there a special section for torque converter threads? i see engine, mini bike types, classifieds, and "other" sections, but no where to post specifically about torque converters or simlar things. i need to find out if there can be any offset between the driven and the driver pulleys. right now the driven is 1/8" back further than the driven pulley.* is that a healthy amount or should they be level with each other?

*i'm measuing from the back plates closest to the engine.

No offset. They must be perfectly in alignment or performance and belt life are significantly degraded.. You will need to shim (washers) as needed to get it right. What brand/model T.C. and what type of bike is it going on? Yes, photos would help!

it's a fleabay special mated to a predator 212 going on a baja warrior. i had to use a washer in between the engine and tc so it would clear the frame. i think i will remove the engine and drill the mounting holes so eveything can be moved over a bit.
