You are correct. The release bearing should NEVER rest against the
pressure plate. There should be a clearance when the clutch is disengaged.
the only time the release bearing should be in contact with the pressure
plate springs/levers is during clutch actuation. If allowed to rotate with
the flywheel/clutch assy constantly then it will wear out very quickly.
