A couple of questions for those more knowledgeable than I.  When I depress 
the clutch on the BJ 8 and blip the throttle, more times than not, I get a loud 
growling (no, not the exhaust!!) noise coming from the clutch area.  I can 
feel it in the gear shift and through the clutch petal.  If I let out the 
clutch 
it goes away.  This doesn't happen every time but usually I can make it happen 
by blipping the throttle.  Those are the symptoms.  The question is, does 
this sound like a throw out bearing issue?  It seems like I read somewhere that 
the bearing can be greased but as I have several different Marques I sometimes 
confuse them.  Any suggestions or direction?

Second, would someone be so kind as to either tell me where to find or share 
with me the specs on the stock 100M cam?  ALL of the specs?

Many thanks,
