Johnny- Re; Throwout bearing. Don't know about a McCleods but a Tilton is set at .0300 with the bearing adjustment set all the way back. You use shims between the unit and the tranny to set it. Do the shim setting with hydrolic pump on the bearing, when it relaxes after you take your foot off the clutch. All throw out bearing adjustments after that are set forward with the internal adjuster to adjust the clutch throwout bearing. (Tilton)
As for if your flywheels facing is to rough. I would't worry so much about that. If it is and it indeed wears out the disk too quick, a harder faced disc facing the flywheel can be used. They are the cheap link in this chain after all. Just remember if you have to go to a harder disc later, that a harder disc could (will) also slip more on the hard pulls. As you can see, it's kinda a tuning thing based on your driving habits.
