Had you got the slave cylinder/arm/stops adjusted correctly to let the thrust bearing actually fully release the clutch?

the other thing that springs to mind is, how much has been machined out of the flywheel and back plate?

without checking i recon its possible to machine enough so the fly wheel and back plate touch outside the clutch face.

Also, if a significant amount has been machined off both backplate and flywheel, even with a new driven plate, the clutch release bearing has to come a lot further "out" of the cover.

Is it possible the release bearing carrier just doesn't have enough travel or the piston is bottomed out in the slave cylinder.

Re Joe's point, on mine the three strap bolts (you can see two of them on photo 3) were protruding enough (before I spaced them the other side) to limit backplate movement but mine was a standard size backplate - by the look of it your triangular lightweight one misses them anyway.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Is that oil contamination on the centre of the flywheel?
Had a machine shop machine my flywheel as it was cooked. They did what Carl said, ground it first. I'll end up buying a new one and the old one as a spare to be safe.
