Article in Kit Car, September, 2001:
"The bearing only needs to move just enough to release the clutch.
If the bearing extends too far, it will overcenter the diaphragm spring in the cover. This may cause one of the rivets in the cover to loosen and lose some of the preload. You could also bend one of the fingers on the clutch spring. "
AND:
"You need a pedal stop for the hydraulic throwout bearing type clutch setup. You need only 0.380 to 0.500 inches Throwout bearing travel. The ratio with a 3/4 inch master cylinder is two to one, so you would need between 3/4 to 1 inch of pedal engagement travel. If you don't have a stop, you will blow out either the piston or blow the O-ring ! "
Sorry to bring this potentially bad news, but it seems doubtful that you have *Christine 2*, at least in the clutch area
