Ok I put the washers on top and now everything spins freely again.
Now if it will just stop raining so I can test fly it.

Oh yeah. 2.94 inches of rain so far, coming down quick it will be over 3 inches very shortly! P.S. Word to the wise, throttle up slowly, the clutch will bite more "suddenly" or should I say aggressively so let it bite before you spool up faster. 2.97 inches now, see, its moving fast! -=>Raja.

Any measurement for those washers? I've got the bolts and everything else, but no washers.

Well got 5 flights in today and as a result I can say that flipping the clutch had ZERO effect on the wah wah problems I am having.
But I may have another solution in the works.

Wah wah problem
Common causes from my experience:
1. The clutch slipping 2. Leaking oil in the clutch bell 3. Too much oil in the one-way Let us know what you figure out. -=>Raja.

To help keep OWB lube out of the clutch
1) Install starter shaft in bell, slide a small oring onto the starter shaft, then install pinion. 2) Replace the 696zz shielded lower starter bearing with a 696 2rs sealed bearing http://www.rcbearings.com/individual-bearings/6962rs

It would appear that my whole wah wah problem was nothing more then my gyro gain was way to low.
When I first set up the helicopter I was more worried about the engine tuning and and break in and did only the most basic gyro setup. It held the tail in flight and did not wage, so ok good to go for engine breakin. As the wah wahs were there from day one, and as I leaned the engine they got better but did not go away I always thought the problem was engine tuning. It should be noted that while the gyro gain was low it still held the tail fine and a couple other people that flew the helicopter did not notice it either. Using ATV's in the radio to set gyro gain I started out at +40, this weekend I have upped it to +65 and for the most part the wah wahs are now gone. I will up the gain some more till I start getting tail wags and back it off just a little. It sucks when it takes this long to find a basic problem.
