Gents,
Thanks for the input - I appreciate your thoughts.
I have pried away at teh crank and seen 3/1000" free play maximum. No scrapping noise when running either. The clutch disc has no shiney bolt heads to indictae that parts are hitting other parts.
A couple of other smart guys have said to screw it all back together and let it work itself out. "It will wear itself in, or wear itself out."
And you are quite correct - I will know where to look when something bad happens, heck, I nearly have my apprenticeship done in swapping TO bearings now!
When I have a few more miles on the truck I will report back to let you folks know if it got better, or if it got worse.
Best regards,
Stewart
