I know on the subie flywheels you can over tighten and cause dragging. Do you have a torque spec for the pressure plate bolts? I think it is around 14 ft - lb for the subie pp.
I could not find the instructions for the pressure plate assembly so I am not sure what the spec was. I am generally careful about torque specs for critical components so I would assume that they were properly torqued. Although anything is possible?
Do you need the spacer washers behind the cluch release bearing fork piviot ball if the flywheel has been turned ???

All of the parts are new.
And that was it.
Problem is, from your photo yours looks ok.
The diaphragm was cracked behind the rivet in the photo.
I checked again, very carefully, for cracks and could not find anything that even hinted of a crack.
I also measured from the pressure plate face to the flywheel mounting face and it was consistent.
What I did notice, and I have no idea if it is actually an issue, is that when I set the pressure plate finger side down, the pressure plate face does not sit level.
The level is zero'd to the measurement surface (otherwise known as my glass cooktop).
Is this a problem? It is the only thing that I can find that even hints at an issue.
I sent an email to KEP with all of my observations. They were helpful when I called last week. Hopefully they can give me some feedback to get me moving forward again.
Cheers,
Scott
