Flywheel Service; Re-Machine Clutch Surface
Inspect the flywheel for cracks, heat check or other damage that would make it unfit for further use. Acceptable flywheels may be serviced by polishing with fine grade (400 grit) sand paper. Flywheels may be resurfaced to remove scratches or grooves. After resurfacing, the flywheel thicknesses must not be less than the dimensions noted in the chart.
Flywheel Resurfacing Machining Requirements: (see chart below)
Charts
Dimension "A" is the minimum acceptable dimension from the crankshaft
mounting surface to the new resurfaced clutch face surface. Dimension "B" is a
referenced minimum acceptable dimension for the overall width of the outer
flange.
