Looking closer at your picture, the release plate is installed backwards.  You should not be able to see the entire face of the release bearing.  The release bearing shoulders on a lip, which is not visible, which means the release plate is installed backwards...   

We have a winner.

Took everything apart and reassembled it; it did the same thing.  Opened the manual sent to me by a member here and looked at the picture.  Slapped myself on the forehead, re-bled the clutch, reinstalled everything and went for a ride.

I have no idea how I got the release plate backwards, as I didn't recall separating it from the release bearing last night.  What I get for plowing ahead with a job when I know I'm too tired to do it.

Thanks so much for everyone's help.  I'm going to sit in the corner for a bit with a dunce cap on.

Appropriate...

I've earned that.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You might have taught someone else a lesson or two from your mistake.

I'm glad I'm just doing the Hayden tensioner bit (which apparently was a footnote in this case) and leaving the clutch alone! Here's hoping I won't be needing to wear a dunce cap for something so simple.

Good eye, Scott D!

I am glad you guys got it solved.  It may be just an optical illusion but the spring looks like it is installed backwards too?

It's an illusion.  With the pressure plate reversed, the spring flattened out against it when it was torqued down.

All is well now, and I'm pleased with the upgrades.

That's why I can't look at the pics here on the phone.  Too damn small.  Can't make out enough detail.  Good catch Scott.
