Whew!  I don't have an answer on the clutch Denis, but I'm going to try to find 
out.  I did learn from experience though to always check before installing 
engine that the clutch disc will slide with ease over the mainshaft, but I just 
always assumed that when they didn't that it was a fouled up manufacture of the 
clutch disc.  Also (hindsight is 20/20) but when they have been in any length 
of time, when you have the engine out always replace the mainseal and the 
clutch disc, and probably the pressure plate.  There is too friggin much labor 
involved to go back with questionable parts, particularly when they don't cost 
much.  And Type II splitties are notorious for eating up clutch discs.
