Default Mcleod Street Twin issues.....

Hello,
I'am a LT1 guy with 383 internally balanced motor and not so happy with the 1200$ product from Mcleod.
I put it in few weeks back.. and it made a horrible grinding noise when I pressed the pedal down.
Also this **** vibrated like some sex toy...
So I took the bastard out and I found out that my stock fork with the clip was grinding on the clutch press unit (you can see the chips on the T56).
And maaaan total of 25 grams had to be takan out of the assembly when I had it balanced. 10 out of the flywheel and 15 out of the Valeo press. Yes, when you buy Mcleod clutch you get a Valeo clutch press that's painted red, just like my shitty Ram clutch and Spec 3 that have died in my car....

Just my .02
Take Care gearheads!
Kristinn.

Thats wierd, seen a few run the LT1 twin & no problems. I have a LSx twin mcleod, but it is totally different pressure plate design on those.
Is your fork & pivot it the right place height wise?
