Lads, Good points. I'll replace the bearing on spec. Another comment was that the metals used recently on the bolts are not good ole US hardened steel. I believe the supplier clutches are made overseaa.

My three round headed pivot ball bolts used to adjust the finger height are showing significant wear after a few thousand miles. I have 2" of free play and the throw-out bearing is not touching the finger bolts when the clutch pedal is at rest. I have seen this on three v8 clutches driven by...
