Warren, as I recall Joe L. built your engine -- I doubt he slipped up on this point. He's only built a couple of million of these engines....
Additional thought -- It occurred to me after I originally wrote this that if you have 1900 miles now on your new turnkey build then you really should adjust the clutch. It has properly seated itself now and has changed from when Doug put it together. Keeping your TOB happy requires the proper clearance; it's a pretty quick adjustment. If you'd like, I'll post pics outlining the procedure.
