Don't know if any of you have had a pilot bearing issue, but I just 
installed a replacement 3 main B motor in my MGA, and at idle, in 
neutral with the clutch engaged it groaned.  I had a lot of friends say 
it was the throw out bearing - but it didn't make noise shifting gears - 
so that didn't make sense.  I decided to re- remove the engine, check 
the pilot bushing, and found a lot of dirt in there.  Cleaned it out, 
and it's all better now.
