Thanks noomg - I'll give that a go.

Your post jogged my memory of what may be causing the engine to bind.

When I replaced the rear seal I found the a PO had secured the seal housing with phillips head machine screws (see attached pic). I ordered some cap head screws to replace the fasteners, but found that when I torqued the flywheel some of them would bind. I ended up reusing the screws in a few spots and everything moved freely.

It could be that the clutch pressure is enough to cause binding in this area, although it certainly seemed that clearance was adequate.

I should know more after I do as you suggested.
