Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, an ignition coil assembly includes an ignition coil cover, a boot, and an ignition coil. The ignition coil cover includes a plurality of fins, an opening, and a channel. The boot includes a slotted opening and a centralized orifice and is configured to be disposed within the opening of the ignition coil cover. The ignition coil includes a seat and a tab. The ignition coil is configured to be disposed within the centralized orifice. The seat is capable of supporting the ignition coil within the centralized orifice of the boot. The tab is configured to be inserted into the slotted opening and the channel when the ignition coil is disposed within the centralized office and the boot is disposed within the opening.

Abstract: A universal bellhousing which may be adapted to a variety of automotive engine and transmission combinations and method of making the same is disclosed. The bellhousing is made by spin forming a sheet of steel and welding a transmission plate onto the cone. The cone and transmission plate are indexed to mount to a specified engine-transmission combination.

Abstract: A flywheel for use in an automobile between an engine and a clutch assembly is provided. The flywheel is a circular member having an engine side and an opposite clutch side. An aperture is formed in the circular member having an axis, and the aperture is used to operatively attach the flywheel to the engine. A plurality of clutch fins and/or grooves are formed on the clutch side adjacent the outer edge of the circular member and spaced radially about the axis of the aperture of the flywheel. The clutch fins have a face that is generally coplanar with the clutch side of the circular member. The fins and grooves work to cool the internal components of the engine. Optionally, a second set of grooves and fins may be formed on the engine side of the flywheel to further aid in cooling the clutch disc and other engine components.

Abstract: A clutch disc for use in an automobile engine in communication with a flywheel is provided. The clutch disc includes a cylindrical disc comprising a central aperture. One or both sides of the cylindrical disc includes a clutch lining having a high coefficient of friction. The clutch lining is configured to interact with the flywheel during normal operation of an engine. The clutch disc further includes a plurality of perforations through the clutch disc, including the clutch lining and cylindrical disc. The perforations through the clutch disc provide a means for heat removal from within an engine and aid in extending the life of the clutch disc and clutch assembly.

Abstract: A clutch cover for use with virtually any combination of make and model of engine components and method of making the same is disclosed. The clutch cover is made by spin forming a sheet of metal and removing material as needed to coincide with the corresponding engine components. Therefore, the exact design of the cover including attaching holes and apertures related to release levers may be quickly and easily formed in the clutch cover. Furthermore, a heat management system is provided that includes the addition of fins or other apertures through the clutch cover to increase the air flow to reduce the temperature within the clutch cover to cool engine components.
