Doubts about the "teeth" of the clutch press

Good morning everyone around. I have a question about the "teeth", or "nails", I don't know what they call it, from the clutch press of a Secto Cam Ford engine. Maybe it is obvious what I want to ask, but I have seen any number of videos and tutorials in the right way to install the press, the disc and the collar in this engine, but in none of those or videos make the observation of my doubt. Just install press, disc and hydraulic collar, and when purging the system I note that the pedal was very hard, but did not loosen the press to get the march. So much pressure on him with his foot, that the hose that carries the liquid to the bombin was released. As this dam was rebuilt, by a house here in Venezuela that has many years of experience in clutch restoration, because I assumed that this dam had been defective. When lowering the gearbox I could see that the teeth or nails of the press were totally contracted, making contact with the engine steering wheel. Obviously, the collar could not do anything because the dam was already fully hit at the wheel, and yet, no march could be put on the car on. When turning it off, the marches came without problem. I assumed that this press was damaged, and I disagreed it to set up an original Valeo. My surprise is that when the repaired dam disassembled, the teeth returned to its original position. I decided to install the original Valeo dam, and noticed that in the same way, when the bolts that hold the press at the wheel, the teeth began to sink again, but this time they did not touch the steering wheel, they did not touch the steering wheel, they were approximately a separation of the steering wheel of about 8 to 10 millimeters. Now, is that normal? That the teeth "descend" from their level while the press is clenching, or is there a bad assembly of the system? I also comment that the disc, has no mark of which face goes to the engine and which towards the box, but, following the general rule that if there are no marks and the disc has springs, the highest side must go to the box. The same note that there is no way to place the album upside down, because the springs stick against the steering wheel. Maybe it's nonsense that I ask, that is, very obvious, but I would like a connoisseur of this metería to clarify the doubt to know if everything is well mounted. Thank you so much

Well, like the past post, I have to "authorship" for the absence of help. . For those rookie mechanics like me, who look for answers here of experts, investigate the problem more thoroughly. The teeth of the press, as the screws are clenching, must be descending to not less than 7 or 10 mm from the engine steering wheel (depending on each vehicle model). This movement is the one that allows the press to hold the clutch album against the steering wheel, as the album is spent with the use. If when setting up an album and pressing the nuts of the press, the teeth stay in the same place without descending, when the engine put into operation, there would simply be traction, what would do is slide when it releases the clutch. If on the contrary, the teeth descend too much, being stuck at the wheel (which was my case), because there will be nothing that the collar can move, therefore the car will not have clutch, always leaving the album pressed against the steering wheel. This happens for two reasons, the first is that the press is not working well, or that the pasta of the album is very thick, forcing the teeth to descend too much. This was what I could find out about my doubt. I hope this information serves someone.

Hello, well, your laburo is well done, the problem is that those presses do not endure any type of repair, especially if they rectify the friction surface that it gives against the album or clutch, they can only be deregulated and returned to zero since they are presses of automatic regulation, in reality that the mechanic can do it having a test bench to check if the press is cutting does not. of presses (you have to take out the steering wheel for this operation)
