Thanks again for the replies. I loosened the center main block and "bumped"
the crank back and forth to center the block, as suggested. Then retorqued
it and checked for clearance and endplay. I still couldn't get much endplay
trying to pry the crank front and back so I "wedged" it front and back using
a big "tanker" screwdriver as the wedge between the center bearing block and
the crank. That worked and I got .004 on the dial indicator and .005 with
feeler gauges for clearance. Apparently it takes a bit of force to move the
crank back and forward but I'm sure the clutch pushes even harder than my
gently tapping the wedge in to move it. At least my measurements now make
some sense.
Still learning!
Tim
