Hi all,
The good news is I did the first start of my engine last weekend and it fired right up! A very cool milestone to hit.
The bad news is, even with the clutch fully depressed the driveshaft kept spinning, so the clutch wasn’t engaging. I toyed around with it a bit and found that I needed to adjust the clevis in order to give more pedal travel so that the hydraulic throw out bearing could go farther. The problem is that I had to back the bolt out so much from the clevis that there are very few threads engaged at this point. I must’ve cut the bolt too much when I mistakenly fitted everything to where it looked aesthetically correct, aligned with the rest of the pedals. After a lot of back-and-forth I found the maximum amount of thread engagement I can get while still disengaging the clutch is 4 1/2 turns of the master cylinder bolt into the clevis. That means the bolt is only about halfway through the clevis itself, possibly less. Is this enough engagement, or do I need to buy a whole new master cylinder, or is there some other fix?
The first picture shows how much thread engagement there is, and the second picture shows how much closer to the driver the clutch pedal is relative to the others.
