OK, so I think I have an idea of what has been happening. There are spacers under the 6 bolts holding the flywheel to the crank, and these spacers are about .0060" thick. They are eating up the space that the clutch springs should have in the inset of the flywheel. When removed, there is plenty of room for the springs and even when the clutch is worn down, there will still be room.

So, I am thinking that unless one of you guys that knows alot more than me (that is all of you) can tell me that i must have those spacers for some distinct reason, I am throwing them out and moving on with my project. I am enclosing a photo of the spacers as it would look when on the crank.

I look forward to hearing back! I really need to put this topic to bed so I can get the wheels turning on this truck again! Thanks in advance.
