I spoke with McLeod. The tech guy there is excellent. For my combo (6911-07 dual disk clutch, 16031 bearing), I need 0.40" for full release at the clutch. It will even work at 0.35", but 0.40" includes safety for warpage and swelling. I can measure my fork/pivot ratio and movement at the slave end of the fork, and then figure out if I'm getting enough.

For the throw-out bearing, he said it can be in contact with the clutch, but it shouldn't exert pressure. The ideal "play" in the slave rod should be 0.10".
