52 A clutch driver

_If that new clutch driver isn't a 100% tight fit on the crank splines it will soon beat itself loose again so given your 98% instead of 100% tight I would suggest using the JB weld.. It can always be removed in the future using a lot of heat from a good hot torch….

_It will make a little difference in the engine balance.. The clutch driver is also a R/H crankshaft counter weight so should be properly installed.. Either use the old driver & match the weighted side up then make a new mark on the new driver,, or turn the crankshaft until the #1 [L/H side piston] is all the way forward & the L/H impulse mark on the flywheel lines up with the case mark [at 3 o’clock directly behind the flywheel] then install the new driver with the CENTER OF the heavy spot directly forward.. Note: this gives you the same position as Pappy said only it’s easier to line the L/H piston up to TDC as the flywheel/crankcase cover is marked for that..
