I put in my piston and sleeve and to my horror I saw that there is a gap to one side of the piston to the cylinder wall. One side of the piston is right against the cylinder while there is a gap on the adjacent side! <br />The reason for this rebiuld was a dropped valve. Could my connecting rod ...

Yea thanks for replying. Yeah everything is flush. This is actually my 3rd time reinstalling the clutch. The first 2 times it was POOF, done, no problems, together in 2 minutes. But this time its a pain. The first thing I thought of too was the plate isn't sitting properly, or isn't all the ...
