so I guess I will have to "cook that chicken" with a bigger bearing after all; but again I wonder what is different that the stock bearing is too small?
My take is the positioning of the fingers (or tines) on the pressure plate when bolted to the flywheel is different on each application and needs a different offset (if you will) throwout bearing to take up the slack. So, if your original package had the fingers 1.5" from the flywheel and you milled .2" off the flywheel and the new package is 1.25", I would look for a throwout bearing that was .45" longer. That's how I would look at it, but I'm not sure if it's right.
