CMyles - thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate Saabnet and try to contribute myself when I have something to add.
Knocked the old SKF bearing out of the upper chainwheel and found that while the bearing surfaces have no pits or scores, there was a fair amount of fine metal on the circlips. Very little brass, and no aluminum. Unless it migrated up there from somewhere else, it looks like steel from the bearing, so maybe it is the cause of my noise.
The noise is only at idle, and only when the clutch is released. A new T/O bearing and pilot bearing made no difference. When pushing the clutch in quickly the noise stays as the primary chains spin down. Couldn't tell from my mechanics stethoscope if the noise was at the bottom or top of the primary cover.
