If you have the engine out AND the clutch and flywheel are still installed, please pull out your dial or digital caliper and take a couple of dimensions and post them up here. I'm curious if the measurements will be consistent or all over the place.
Mainly looking for stock 4 or 6 cylinder engines. Lay a straight edge across the middle of the pressure plate and measure between the transmission mounting surface and straight edge:  Then measure between the straight edge and clutch fingers where the throwout bearing contacts them.  Thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

That's kind of a personal question...
(I have nothing of value to add...) |

The surface where the pressure rest should be machined down as much as the friction was machined. Why are you asking? I would have to look it up but I think the machining limit is about .060". The distance from the top surface to the block should be closer only affected by the total thickness of the shim pack. That should be less than .010". |
