Pulled the Centerforce pressure plate and took it back to the hot rod shop. They sent it back to mfr's Prescott plant. Word is, it was bent, and Centerforce is sending me a new pressure plate. Now how could a pressure plate get bent? Factory defect? It was installed according to directions. I know at one point my machinist tack-welded a small counterweight on it. He said it was out of balance. Supposedly these things are factory balanced, though. Makes me wonder if it wasn't already bent new-in-the-box?
