Bob -- These grooves in the diaphragm fingers are common for those setups on the TR6 that has the automatic clutch adjustment feature. No concern here as there's plenty of meat here. These grooves can be removed with a drill press and a large enough sanding cone if this sore of thing bugs a person.
The RHP bearing is another story. Some of the older stock lasted many thousands of miles while others less than a thousand before squealing.
Most like the trade off found with the heavier Koyo bearing that TRF and maybe others offer.
